I think there were some issues with SE that seem to have been worked out. I certainly will not argue the point that SCCA seems to be more serious. One of the things I've really liked about NASA-SE's events is the "laid back"-ness. Now, when it has been neccessary for the Regional Director, or the Race Director, to have conversations with people that were misbehaving on track, they won't hesitate to go so far as to ask people to not come back.

Anyway, I won't tey to say that one program is better than the other. I haven't done a SCCA PDX, yet, so I can't compare the two experiences.
I really dont like the NASA guys. Seem to stuck up for regional racers. They made me have an instructor ride with me (not sure why because I have my SCCA and FIA license) and he told me I needed to go faster. Come to find out I ran faster times than he did and I was on street tires! WTF is up with that. Thats what I hated most about the event. The instructors think there the best in the world yet when they come to an SCCA road race I run all over them. SCCA events are the most organized well put together events period. Nothing compaires.

hey redrumracer, y dont u come out to an SCCA autocross or PDX event? scared you will get ur a** beat because u cant drive?
