This series was inspired by two things. The first are the reread blog series relating to various extended works of fiction that appear places such as
www.tor.com, and the second is the realization that it has been far too long since i really went through the rule book.
My career as a tech official and mediocre club racer started in the early 90s. I've served as Chief of Tech for New York Region (since 1996) and Mohawk Hudson Region (since 1997). Neither region is running an active racing program now, so I've been intermittantly chiefing races for New England Region in recent years. Also, I spent 3 years in the barrel as NEDiv Divisional Administrator of Scrutineering in the late 90s.
So how is this going to work? I'm going to front to back with the 2021 GCR, starting with the January version that I just downloaded from the site. But this first post going to be more of a background/history thing. So let's get started!
