Doug, you and this forum has NOT beat the rules interpretation to death, this
is what makes this forum so powerful. This current door panel thing is a
perfect example of how rules can be misconstrued, and ultimately MADE BETTER.
Because it is like reading the BIBLE, except that GOD is the comittee and is
here on earth, reachable and there to make changes as needed. It is our duty
as racers to bring up this things like you did Doug. I can tell you it is no
different on the bike side either, often the racers in a particular category
have a stronger grasp of the rules than many of the rules committee, and that
is NOT a slam on the rules people. I mean we are the ones who ponder each and
every detail for a year or years, preparing. Keep up the debates thats what
makes this site and country so great. Without the site, less communication,
and more disgruntled folks at tech. Joe Amo :) :)
