get in the way. I say again vote with your $$$ and go somewhere you are appreciated. 
And before the volunteer thing comes my way I have done more autox than I can count with getting up at 4:30 driving 150+ miles helping set up and stay to help take down and driving home for clubs I don't belong to. IMHO PCA is mostly behind the times with their DE program and if they had to depend on non PCA mbrs to survive their DE program would go away. PCA IMHO crams way to many people on the track during sessions which exacerbates the passing in straights only problem. NASA is also guilty of cramming.
I will give Nord Stern PCA
an A+++ for their DE @ Road America as they were sold out without cramming the track with cars. Peter

Here is what I interpret from all of this....Yes they made their call and you are out, criteria or no criteria. The question now becomes do you feel like sucking up to them between now and next year to be accepted.....I hate politics.

Most of my friends have negative connotations about PCA DE events, I've spent enough time running with Citrus and Crown at their events to question what they're talking about but I guess it all comes down to knowing the right people and enjoying the group your with.
I don't have much experience running with Suncoast, but did receive an email requesting my experience and registration was granted afterwards.

Sorry to say, it exists in Club Racing too.
At the Road America race in 2009, Vicki Earnshaw asked to see me after the drivers meeting.
Me: I'm Mike Klaskin. You wanted to see me.
Vicki: I know what happened with Cort last year.
Me: Cort wasn't here last year.
Vicki: I mean at Daytona.
Me: What do you think happened (She was not there and did not deal with Cort at Daytona in '08)?
Vicki: Have a nice weekend...
Still have no idea what she was referring to, and either way, she could not have known the facts as she was not there.

We all need to remember "drivers school"
Some of us belong in NASA
When I sign up for DE my day is as follows
1. wake up and drive to starbucks with fuzzy head
2. eat greasy sandwich from "snack shack" to settle sick feeling
3. lie about lap times, say traffic slowed me down in first session
4. park myself on burkes bumper, igonre point by
5. see orange car coming, pull in hot pits to check tire pressures
6. make sure cooler is full of beer, need more beer after last session
7. lie more about lap times at bar, make claims that traqmate was not working correct if I find out I did not lie good enough
8. find group to go eat mexican and drink more beer
9. come back to cheateau, beg ingrid for more drink tickets
10. drink more beer
11. feed rad yeager shots
12. goto to bed, find medication to sleep through snoring of roomate

So, Peter and Randy, is this the event that you said I should drive down from Canada for???
I guess that I have no chance
But I could always go down and drink beer with you guys though.
