I've been witness to a CORSA member who brought a "friend" along to a  
convention. The friend was not registered, was not a CORSA member, and, at the  
autocross, decided he would like to "give it a try". He approached the  individual 
who appeared to be in charge of the event, paid the entry fee,  signed the 
waiver, and was allowed to race. The same individual helped himself  to the 
hospitality room as well.
 
It does happen, I just don't know how often.

I understand, George. Things can get hectic at the events.  Hell, I  even 
drove a guys Firebird through the Convention Autocross at Lexington -  That isn't 
supposed to happen either -  Corvairs only!  But he was a  local club member 
who had worked on the event, so they let him and his son drive  it as part of 
the Corsa event. After they had finished their four runs,  they let me take my 
last run in their Firebird (instead of the Corvair I  had borrowed). I beat 
them both on my one run. <grin>. But, anyway,  it is hard for the organizers to 
turn down the money at the event. But there  really should be a way to assure 
that only convention registered guests  participate - at least in the events 
that take insurance coverage! On the SCCA  waiver form, used, at least, at 
autocrosses around the USA, you have to list  your SCCA membership number and - 
usually - show your membership card to  enter the event.   
 
At least he paid for the entry at the Autocross. The Concours is usually  
open to the public, the publicity value of the display overwhelms the "control"  
need. But the hospitality room is usually a substantial cost for the hosting  
club. I couldn't conceive of going into another group's private party like 
that.  "Wedding Crashers"? (the movie)

C's the Day! - Corvair, Camaro, Corvette, and a  Firebird  - once in a while!
