agreed, while I don't want to see the series "exclude" anyone.. perhaps a 2-3 Drivers ed requirement is not a bad thing... I know our team last year met that requirement.. and it would help the clubs that do drivers ed build numbers. I know the argument 2 events w/ 5 drivers is $1500 extra cost minimum... it would defiantly help those that are "traffic shy".. since while I'm not intimidated by a car 6 inches off my mirror, there were a lot of divers out there that were, and being overly cautious causes as much problems as it solves.
