This from Howard "Duck" Allen, BOD member in the latest NWSCN (North
West Sports Car News)
"Now for the bombshell of the month,
this was NOT a matter of if but a matter
of when. The BOD agreed in principle
to adopt the FIA flagging rules for club
racing. NO date of implementation has
been announced. This was due in part to
pressure from three partners on the
ACCUS board, Champcar, ALMS and
NASCAR (Grand-Am). The SCCA was
the lone holdout. ACCUS is expected to
approve $100,000 at its July meeting to
finance this changeover and pay for new
regional flag sets. Most of the worker
base is more than familiar with the
changes as they already use FIA flagging
at the above-mentioned events. As
always the hard sell will come with the
drivers."
Personally, I don't see why drivers would be the hard sell. Or are we
as a group so hidebound that any change is considered a threat? I know
this was discussed a few years back, don't know why it didn't get done
then.
