CRX and STU FRS drivers were not from the PacNW so I don't know them. I didn't see video and only overheard half the story so I really can't say who did what on track.

The black RX8 and the Red FRS received reprimands. Nothing beyond that.

I generally agree but those drivers have a history and from what it sounds like, it's a history of the FRS being on the receiving end of fixing body work and lack of penalties ever being issued. This was likely building for some time.

Nonetheless - it would NEVER have happened if the SCCA would actually penalize drivers for avoidable contact and No, reprimands are NOT penalties.
