Tech is certainly not going to pull us down for something like this.
Tell you what, Matt: if I make it down to Summit this year, let's you and I get together and I'll cover the $25 for you to protest my cage. We'll do it in such a way that it won't kill my weekend (like they tell me to go home on Saturday morning). We'll each debate our positions to the chief Stews and let them decide. If they bless it, I'm golden; if they damn it I'll be given the opportunity to bring my case to Topeka in the form of an appeal. Worst case, I lose my appeal and have to cut it out and re-weld a tube between the bottom of the rear legs (which, as I'm certain we all realize, does *exactly* the same thing.)
No harm, no foul, and definitely no ill feelings.
Whadya think?

Sound like a decent plan to me. It would be interesting to see what they say, although I'm reasonably certain they will err on the side of safety, which means any tube is likely to be allowed. Try to give me some warning if you're coming down as my limited budget means I don't make every MARRS race. But it should make for a more entertaining weekend.
