The dipwads have announced Kurtie Spitzer's old bullshit about using photgraphs of your own car yourself in any advert or whatever as violating THEIR assertion that those cocksuckers own all images of your own car during an event that you get to pay over a 1000 bucks to enter.
Here's a highlight: "Photography is for editorial use only. Any other use, including but not limited to commercial and promotional use, is expressly prohibited and strictly enforced. Still images and footage may not be used for any commercial or retail purposes whatsoever, and may only be used for promotional purposes upon written permission of Rally America and the athlete(s) depicted in such image(s). Streaming of any and all video is strictly prohibited in all circumstances. Streaming rights are the exclusive property of Rally America." Havir, Mr. RA, comes into the sport and goes to the notorious Vermont Sportscar for a full-on Sub-a-rat as a rank beginner, does a few events, flipping the car several times, but is obviously a suck-buddy of the meglomaniac loser Kurt Spitzer, and when Spitzner succeeded in destroying the relationship of the Rally community with SCCA, accomplishing in just a few short years what we had not done in 35, and Havir steps in to "Buy the rights to "Rally" from SCCA for "a dollar". Spitzner and Havir seemed to be pretty buddy-buddy, with Spitzner sppeding, passing on the double yellow, and driving like an utter asshole out Shelton-Matlock road to render aide to Havir's flipped car by supervising the placements of tarps to hind the failure of the VT Sportscar ulta-lite cage when Havir flipped in Shelton. Where do these corporate asshole get off thinking they own images of YOUR car? People ought to write on the back of their checks: Deposit of the check will be proof of a binding contract to remunerate the drawee to the rate of $5000 for each media impression of any image, reference, or report of the drawee name, car, crew etc. Or better yet, just give Rally America what they have earned:

Then you come to Canada and run PN as you were likely to do anyway, being a guy who knows about making the most from the least, and Voila: stick it to da man
