I am proud of our club for the fact that we do not require BMW ownership for membership, and I do hope that never changes.Originally Posted by woodym3
However, on the same line of thought, we have to apply the same principle to the individual programs we support, autocross is one of them. There should not be a gray area or "perception," We either draw the line and say you have to have a BMW to become a member, or you can become a member no matter what car you own and you will have the exact same priviledges as any other member. It just cannot be both ways IMO.
We are supposed to promote BMW ownership, I don't agree that forcing X cars to their own littel insignificant class is the way to do it; we should be doing the opposite. I believe our current policies are viewed as double standard. "Please pay the same fee for membership as BMW owners, but you will be classed in a lower bracket in the membership totem pole; that's just the way it is." And think of the Mini drivers, X class for Minis??? That is even worse than trying to get my WRX into MSS.
