Of course not; where did you get that? I was making an example
of what would be a "safe" implementation. Should I flag examples
with "I'm not a real application, but I play one on TV".

Maybe they should add "COTS" to the wording (Commercial Off-The Shelf)?

I might be able to help with that. Suggested alternative? Oh wait,
you're against the prohibition. Okay, how would you change the
rule so these things are allowed next year. And, come to think
of it, why not allow cool-cans too?

It said that torque suppression devices "may serve no purpose"
for YEARS. People seemed to be able to figure out that this was
supposed to say "no other purpose". The carpool lane thing again...

Enforcement is discriminatory right now, so what's the big deal?
"Legal" is often in the eyes of the beholder, from roll structures in
Prepared and where they become tube framing, to seating positions in
Stock and when cushions become seat alterations. If you think
something is illegal, protest it. That's why the sport tries
not to use rank novices on Protest and Appeal Committees.

Not at all. Just run what the rules clearly say you can. If
you have to fall back on "it doesn't say I can't", then IMHO
it's time to write a letter.

You can write and spell and think. That puts you well ahead of
lots of people :-)
