[Wichita-SCCA] Competition w/ other regions

[blueisis at cox.net]

That sounds about pretty standard.... It's a neat thing the see to 'trick' drifters go side by side and run a course. I have some friends who do that on the coasts. Impressive to say the least, but not really the safest LoL

BTW: what does SCCA require in a harness? 3-4-5 point? We're looking at getting one.... need an idea of what to get?
