I have a new name for people who continue to spew this "sanctioning" crap: "swallowers". A person would post this sanctioning BS for two reasons:
1. They swallow whole what others spew without understanding exactly what they are talking about. Hence, a "swallower". Like a follower but worse because of the damage they create with their BS.
2. They are a troll with one mission- baffle with BS.
It's a red herring claim. I have done track days for years, I am an SCCA licensed driving instructor. Door to door racing requires, in all cases, a fully caged car. You can't legally operate a fully caged car on the street. Therefore a car without a cage can not participate in a door to door racing event and "sanctioning" can never come into play. However trackday events never require cages and do not have classed entries. Any "classes" in a trackday are based on skill and experience. Not the car.
I've also invested the time and made the effort to start two threads that attempt to clearly explain the trackday experience:

Any attempt by a poster to perpetuate this "sanctioned event" BS must now be called out for what it is- willful ignorance, trolling or both.
