Hi Rod,
In short I am 100% against this. Lucas apparently has not contacted any of the officers of RRTC. Being the past Validations Chairman and having heard from him on another matter 3 weeks ago, I think I would have heard about this.
Attached is his document into which I have inserted my comments. I am copying others on this. I see this as just an attempted power-grab. I am not aware of Lucas bringing any problems to the attention of the RRTC. I would suggest to you that the committee is composed of people who know and understand measuring of road courses. The organization has evolved over the course of 25 years and is copied by organizations in many other countries. While we may need to do a few things better, I think the basic organization does an excellent job with the resources we have. Lucas could have contacted RRTC at any time to express his concerns. He didn’t to my knowledge.
Best regards-Doug Loeffler
