Who...

Well, I ran a couple years back, and it was enough for me not to do it again, no offense.

First, one of the chief guys actually bashed on my car. And then told me I needed my parents to buy me a real race car, and if they cant afford it I shouldnt be there. And compared me to another young driver at the event, overall making me feel like ****. He then proceeded to tell me my car would not pass tech. It did, and he almost looked mad it did. I never knew head people wanted to PUSH people away from an event. AND my car was never really TECH'D. I was black flaged for a little oil smoke, and went to the tech shed and got waved on to continue. My instructor did not help much. I missed my first session due to mis communication. I had no instructor until halfway through the 2nd session. My last session was good, only because nobody bothered me, and I could drive the whole time without any useless bs.

I am just an SCCA guy, no offense, SCCA just seems more serious. I might be interested in TT with NASA, but road race wise and driving events I wil stick with SCCA.

Wow! I'm really sorry you got treated that way. I've only been involved with NASA for about a year and half and have had nothing but a very positive experience. Although, I did have one instructor at CMP tell me that I needed a faster car or move back to DE1, but I was driving like an asshat that particular weekend for some reason.

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.
