Are you kidding me?  

Examples of unacceptable language would include: "spectators welcome",
"spectators free"

To me, those are important aspects, because the spectators are the ones
that become drivers.  I didn't race my first time I went.  I didn't know
anyone there, and knew nothing about the whole process.  I wanted to go
and see.  It's important that people know that it costs nothing to come
and see what is going on.  Why should advertising not promote that?

	2.5 NON-SPECTATOR SOLO EVENTS-ADVERTISING
	A. Solo events may be advertised to the general public for the
purpose
	of informing them of the activities of the SCCA if the
provisions 
	of this section are met.
	B. Advertising must be targeted to encourage the public to
discover
	the SCCA and its activities. Examples of acceptable language
	include: "Car buffs are invited to experience the SCCA", 
	"Motorsports enthusiasts are invited to come see what the SCCA
	is all about." The focus of the advertising must be recruitment
of
	possible future participants.
	C. Advertising must not be broad based or entertainment
oriented. 
	Examples of unacceptable language would include: "spectators
	welcome", "spectators free", "come see the excitement - slides,
	spins, screeching tires!" (entertainment example).
	D. All advertising must include a statement on waiver signing
such 
	as, "everyone entering the event site must sign a release and
	waiver form".
	E. When an event is advertised in the manner above, a plan must
be
	in place to limit access to the event site to those who have
	signed the release and waiver form, and to issue a credential 
	(wristband, etc.) to those having signed the form. This may be
	done by either limiting physical access to controlled locations,
or
	by assigning multiple workers equipped with forms and
credentials
	to continually survey the event site for non-credentialed 
	people.
	F. It is highly recommended that a minimum of two Solo Safety
	Stewards be assigned to the event.
	G. Sanction application must be received by the National Office
a
	minimum of 21 days prior to the event and must indicate that the

	event is a non-spectator advertised event.
