In scca if you don't set a tire on the track on one day then they will refund you for that day.

I'm not even really expecting a refund... just a credit for another day.

This changes my mind. Still I stand behind a business owner being able to do whatever he wants to. SCCA does not give us near as much track time as NASA does (assuming I have been told correctly). I'm really surprised SCCA will do the refund like this.

I'm not, it's good business.
On the other hand, with the negative things that I have heard about the SCCA it does surprise me coming from them.
Like you said Jerry, we can vote with our dollars. Will has the product, we want it, he is the boss until we are not willing to pay for it.
It feels greedy to me, 95% of the time when I ask a manager or owner for something that is reasonable, we are able to work something out, a credit for a day that you never touch the track is absolutely reasonable to me. If people are abusing this system then I completely understand where Will is coming from, but as long time customers, I didn't expect for us to be treated this way.

A little off of the direction this thread has taken, but for an improvement - a more affordable/durable/longer usable tire please. Bring back the original RA1 tire we loved so much. Toyo can call it anything they want, but bring it back. All the "progress" from Toyo has been away from a quality tire for the weekend warriors like us. Quite honestly (among many other factors in life) this is one of the reasons keeping me away from CMC/NASA. I'm nearing the point where I will buy a set of Nitto NT01's and have fun with the car somewhere else.

I agree with you Rob. I'm not going to stop racing because of the tires but having to spend a grand a weekend on tires does not belong in CMC.

I ran last season with 2014's leftover RA1s and 1 set of RRs.

No problem with that but in Texas if you want to be on the podium they all pretty much show up with new tires every weekend. I too want a tire that lasts all season like they used too. So either the group decides to go to a different tire and give up the toyo money or somehow a negotiation is made with Toyo to run some form of their street tire that will last longer. It isn't about Toyo trying to make money by selling RR's to CMC racers either-it's not even a drop in the bucket for them to be worried about financially.
