I agree, at the regional level. The "solution" that I see is the
following:
* Eliminate Ladies classes at Divisonals, Tours, Pros, and Nationals.
* Modify the co-driver rules to allow 2 "same sex" co-drivers (same as
now) or 3 "different sex" co-drivers.
* Allow regions to continue to do what they want with seperate ladies
classes for each open class, a combined ladies class, a "Novice" class
system, etc.
I'll actually get off my butt and put this in a letter to the SCCA. I
encourage other folks to write in support or terror, as appropriate :-)
