Not sure what's in there that I already didn't know about CoTA (and it's responses btw). Though it will be cool to see ALMS/Grand-Am at a grade 1 track with a proper pit lane for a change
The list was originally just ACO rules series, with added special endurance events - I don't really care about a series which races at Kansas' road course.
Well yeah if you do it all in one go, the 17 ovals tracks on the Sprint cup calendar would cost you $193.72 if you bought them all in one go ($241.56 if you add in 4 more ovals used by the top 3 series in iRacing). But then if you are really into your oval racing and you want 22 laser scanned tracks that's what it's going to cost you.
According to your post Ray, we already allow people to go to shops/pubs/club and get drunk, and then drive when drunk. Your post is more of an argument for prohibition of alcohol than why Marijuana should not be legalised.
Remind me again which part of the bible mentions aborting a foetus is wrong; and how many people the bible says were supposedly ordered to be killed by your god?
How are you going to deal with endurance races or results which require penalties to be added to them? That is one flaw in the spdo db, it just reads the replay and spits it out. Maybe instead of accepting a replay, some sort of .csv/xml input could be allowed so that external programs (e.g. the tracker) can export the results for use in your standings generator.
The booking in system could be good, but as above you would need to be able to export it - again, the tracker takes in .csv input of a list of teams/drivers so that will be something to consider having.
