The fundamental argument I've heard for SFC's is that everyone puts
these on (and NEEDS them), not just autocrossers.

Why is there an ACR package, and a massive contingency package, if they
won't last when they're raced? Take some of the money out of the
contingency budget to pay for the TSB, if necessary.
If Chrysler was participating directly in the series, they would do
what was necessary to help their cars finish the race. Why won't they
do that for privateers?
I still say this is a Chrysler problem, not an SCCA problem.
