A. Level of contact they think is acceptable
From what i've seen, that is not the case. The corner workers are much more aggressive in calling in contact during the race, and many times the drivers are called to the tower after the race to explain themselves - and most of the racing I've seen (all 2 days of it) with SCCA at summit has been pretty damn clean with the exception of the 12 hour, which is always a demo derby for some reason. With NASA, many times the onus is on the drivers to fill out an incident report form and bring it to control. Neither side of that fence is better, just different.... but so far this year, HC has had an unacceptable amount of bent metal IMO.
I remember when we crewed with Bimmerworld in ITS at Road Atlanta and there was more than one rather flagrant punts in the race.
