I sure would like it if the "scrutineering" were dove-tailed to match the SCTA/USFRA tech rules and requirements. That is -- both of our bikes were passed by the SCTA about two weeks before Bub's, yet we had to make changes here and there to pass insp. at Bub', just 'cause the AMA has different rules. Sidestands removed/wired in "up" position, safety wire on oil drain plug/oil filter, and so on -- not that these are things that shouldn't be attended to -- but why two sets of rules? If it's good enough for SCTA/USFRA, why put the racers through the extra nervousness of a second set of rules?
Then, when arriving at "scrutineering", were we greeted with "scrutineers" telling us (about this, or that, or the other): "Well, we admit we were being sort of anal about this on bikes earlier, but we've decided not to be so picky now, so you don't have to follow that rule after all>" If it's a rule that's good enough for some, why modify it when people start bitching? Hold 'em all tight to the rules, or don't enact it in the first place.
