RIP 66 Barracuda

I'm really heartened to hear all the good words about SCCA events. I ran my first one back in 1985, back then my local events were all designed by people driving rabbits, civics, x19s, stuff like that. When I'd ask why courses were so tight, I'd get told "its to slow the big cars down" even though the "big cars" were in different classes? Its great to see more open courses so we all can have fun, and many more ways for us to enjoy our cars.
Now I'm in agreement that good guys, and optima have done a lot to popularize autocross with the average car-show, drag-race fan. Heck, in 1996(I think) the Nats was supposed to have an autocross. I sent in my entry, only to have it refunded when the autoX was cancelled, due to not enough entries. I couldn't believe they were so short sighted as to not see the growing interest in cars that could handle! They weren't interested in losing money to expand what the Nats could be!
The Nats could be where good guys/optima/holley moparfest are today!
I sure hope the '66 gets fixed, and we should always asses every course BEFORE we line up to make a pass.
I'm sure the car owners wish they'd passed on this event.
