No, I am saying the SSS is supposed to do the majority of his job before the event starts which includes ensuring the course is as safe as possible for ALL competitors in ALL classes given the possibilities of Novices in any class, "drifters" reasonable off course excursions, etc... If you do, then there should seldom be an extreme circumstance that needs to be dealt with during the event.
If in your judgment a driver who is drifting within the boundaries of the course is unsafe, you didn't do your bloody job right before the event, and you have no recourse with that driver for not doing your job earlier!!! Your only authority is to move worker stations, have the course modified or cancel the event, period. Those are the rules!
Any chance we can move the entire Eric and SSS discussion out of the SCC article thread?
