That's the issue. It's not the regions that don't want to have karting events.

Ahh, but the "PCA General Counsel and Grand Wizard of Liability and Insurance", Ken Laborde, has for many years said it cannot be, and so it shall not! These regions with their wacky ideas to increase member participation...

It's not a burning issue for me given the huge variety of PCA events we do have, but it is strange, especially to be prohibited at a national level. BMW (BMWCCA) and Ferrari (FCA) actively host karting events.

Of course it would be allowed if our esteemed general counsel put his mind to it. But he doesn't want to so it shall not be allowed!

Who is in charge of PCA? I can tell you it isn't the president.

OK, here’s the thing…who doesn’t love a yellow school bus? Can you raise your hand if you love a yellow school bus? There’s something about I mean there’s something about going to school on a yellow school bus. We all went to school on a yellow school bus. It’s part of growing up of the excitement, the yellow school bus.

Even advertised it in our newsletter, which got us a scolding but our newsletter editor pushed back saying he was not about to censor what a sponsor and advertiser can publish (assuming it wasn’t offensive). Our ad specifically stated that this was OUR event and was NOT a PCA event.

Maybe Luigi Law and Assoc can hold a few events?
No scolding from IMSA. We raced karts for fun and had a good time.

“I love Venn diagrams. I really do, I love Venn diagrams. It’s just something about those three circles and the analysis about where there is the intersection, right?”

It's time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day.

C'mon guys. Do we really have to go there?

Both presidential candidates speak publicly multiple times a day. Whoever you support, they occasionally say something that makes little sense whether literally or taken out of context.

You could follow any of us around, record everything we say, scrutinize it and find sound bites that would make us sound like fools.

It's not terribly clever to Google "candidate X dumb comments" and then post it here.

Agreed - there are enough stupid things that our PCA leaders have said that we can make fun of.

One of my favorites is when the ad hoc medical committee said "we know better than your doctor."
