At the risk of being a broken record, the need for substantial paperwork in support of an Appendix or Schedule K application is accepted. Equally, the existing CoD system for those cars is probably as robust as it needs to be.

The real question is then, apart from "K" cars;

Q: What is the real value of a CoD (not the perceived value of being able to compete elsewhere nor the level playing field mantra), given that two thirds of regular competitors in several established classes/series haven't even bought into the system?

Q: If those series are happy outside the CoD system or even outside T & C as it stands right now, even if only marginally, should those series change to be T & C compliant (eliminating a fair few cars), or, should the T & C rules better relate to the wishes of the competitors?

Q: If those series are outside the T & C regulations, does that then automatically mean that any car without a CoD, running in those series is of no concern whatever to the H & C Commission?
