However, the very fact that EVERY marque club has people complaining
about SCCA is the strongest argument that, in fact, the SCCA IS doing
their job.>>>

And what job is that? To provide a venue for a select few cars but
everybody else is at a huge disadvantage? This is total BS. The SCCA
should provide fair classes for _all_ cars, particularly for sports cars
that would turn up in very large numbers if they had a fair place to
play, as has been proven numerous times in the past. Or don't you want
large turnouts at your autocrosses? Maybe you like things the way they
are. Maybe you have a problem with 200+ people at a local autocross
because it means you can't make 6 runs instead of 3. Maybe you don't
like having 15 or so cars in your class which would provide good
competition and a ladder to get better.
