I guess I can understand why some folks would be upset about CART's position on corner works and observers. Going to Mid Ohio for years I know that the Lake Erie Communications people are some of the most professional anywhere.
But I think people need to understand CART's position. They see that they need to have a source of corner workers and observers who they can be confident will meet some uniform standard of expertese. That's simply good business practice even if you don't want to point fingers at specific problems.
They have two choices, they can either establish their own process to train, certify and manage those people or they can select someone else to do that for them. The latter is the only logical choice and the SCCA is the only organization that can step in and handle it nationwide.
