While your objections are perfectly valid in the face of a 'one off' meeting, they begin to disappear in the face of a season's meetings, when the cost of your new helmet, suit and licence are spread out.

I think that the real problem with MSA racing is the aspiration to 'justice' on the national scale. A non-MSA site can quite happily bar a driver for excessive contact and its the CoC who judges excessive. MSA CoC's have to bear in mind the complex and time consuming system of appeals and the use of lawyers, which might be thoroughly justified in the case of a driver with pretensions to an F1 career in an international champs but is a pain in the ass when it's LittleKartington's winter clubby. The result is that the common complaints of bad driving, contact and the like are largely unenforced and possibly unenforceable if the driver has deep enough pockets.

I totally understand the frustration of CIK bodywork, changing from year to year apparently on a whim, but again this seems linked to the idea of being internationally competitive (or the fact that a championship that aspires to international status might have to specify current Bodywork and see the entries fall in the hopeful and vanity sectors. (Drivers who are going to come in the last 10 rather than the first 40 but like the bragging rights of competing in an international class of driver.)

The trouble is that maintaining the standard for this international class is expensive....and the MSA fund it across all the drivers.
