Anyone who has read many of my posts know that I have been a frequent critic of the SCTA's policy on releasing information to the masses (specificly BNI members), and certain rules and regulations. I have never considered the SCTA and its membership the enemy, rather a group of my peers who have the same goals as I, but maybe don't share the same point of view as I on all matters involving LSR. After much soul searching, communicating with a few members, and reviewing the postings on this site over the last couple of years, I find myself asking "what am I doing to make the situation better"? I have always stated that I have no interest in joining the SCTA because I don't run the dry lakes, have no interest in their finances, know very few members personally, and have always considered myself a free spirit. I have come to the conclussion that the best way myself or any other non-members can be of any positive help is to become a member and seek change from the inside. This doesn't mean that I am throwing in the towel when it comes to looking at issues from both sides, I just have a growing sense of futility with using only this site as a forum. Hell, I don't even know if they will let me be a member, but I personally think that I can do more for change if I try to learn from the inside, not by throwing bricks. I will, however, never stop fighting for the little guy in all of us, and I believe this site is the best thing to happen to the LSR community since its inception. This site beats the hell out of fifth person correspondence or inuendo. The reason I am posting this rant, is not to blow my own horn, rather to urge the rest of the non-members to examine what they feel is the best way to create positive change in our racing community. Still a rebel at heart, Bob
