I'm always promoting our sport, but it is amazing how many guys talk cars, but won't even show up for me to give them a ride.  And NO it is not my car keeping them away, because I always promise to get them a ride in whatever they like.

  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.
