But if you want to pay attention to your "bigger picture", don't enter national events. Problem solved.

I was at the Vegas race and totally agree with you.

I inquired about the idea of not fining a person who has the proper oil retention device but still deposits oil on the track. I was told that it would be considered. Maybe we as racers should push for that instead of or in addtion to the freebie.
