I'm in a weird situation where a Canadian driver managed to wangle himself an SCCA license to race at Mission despite a rule that Canadians must have a Canadian license to race in Canada.
And frankly, I think he got it because of some incidents he'd been sanctioned for when he held a CACC license.
So I'd like to investigate if there isn't a dangerous loophole in the rules for how drivers are licensed.
I know the CACC GCRs have a rule that explicitly permits the publication of disciplinary decisions but it doesn't require it, and I'm going to write a rules proposal that all disciplinary decisions get published, so that drivers can know exactly whom they are racing against.
Does the SCCA have a rule like this?
Is there a place where a driver can check the disciplinary decisions that have been imposed on other drivers?
The driver that brought this up for me:
- Hit me after he failed to react fast enough to a car in front of me spinning that I managed to get stopped for.
- Then on Sunday, forced my fellow FF driver off onto wet grass when he as being lapped (FV vs FF).
- I've been told had had sanctions at least a couple of times before and his CACC license suspend once.
- And to top it off, when I mentioned to another driver who was loading his FC back into his trailer about all of this, that FC driver said that he was driving FC to get away from this particular FV driver.
But all we get is word of mouth?
I honestly think we need to do better.
The aftermath:
