I think that is a little overkill for a first offense. I talked to people on one of the DQ'd boats, and the pace boat, and they both agreed it was a mistake and have moved on. So should everyone else.
A person who has a history at more than one event is a danger, banning someone after one run will kill our sport just the same.

I can understand the reasons for stricter rules and all but having been on the run I didnt witness anything dangerous at all.

It is not too harsh at all. If you cannot follow the rules, don't go to the events, it doesn't get any more simple than that. Who cares if it pisses them off. Stu is very clear at every driver's meeting that are mandatory to attend.

He is not welcome at our events either after he refused to pre-register and said that he "was just going to show up the morning of because he can."

I fall on the side of disqualification on a first offense and then a banishment after any other. There are some cases where a mistake is made and exiling someone is a little harsh. OTOH if a flagrant violation occurs then a promoter has every right to say see ya forever.

As a promoter, I am all for a list of problem boaters at Poker Runs and what kind of infractions they incurred and how they handled the situation after being either talked to or DQ'ed by the promoter.
