Sorry for all the questions, but, well, there's a lot of stuff I don't know ;).
ER runs events very similiar to SCCA. Expect crowds and lots of standing around.Quote:

ER and SCCA boht try hard, but it's a learning process. I wwent to the ER mirror cross event and yes it had problems.....but Gerry ran himself to death making it work.......I see the same thing from Matt at the SCCA events.....
Things may not go as smoothly as we like but both groups try hard. And the more people support their local groups and help out the better it will be.
The buzzword is always volunteer. People who always take take take take from a club or clubs and never do any extra or help out any more than their work assignment requires usually dont get the grease when they squeak.....its the ones who are making an effort to help out and improve things that get things done and get their ideas implimented.
Lots of you do help out....and thats great....but for those who have never done it before....try it....get there early and help with setup...stay late and do pickup.....do a 2nd work assignment......the more people who help the smoother things run. :)
