Reasonable minds will disagree in interpretations, that's why. Getting other's opinions has been great for me (if not only to craft proper appeal arguments given the 'nerd's point of view'). Problem is we're all speculating about the steward's interpretation.

Question, does the SCCA keep a record of protests, appeals, and decisions? If not, how do we assure consistancy in stewarding?? For instance, let's say I go to Fla and get protested for a new ignition widget. I win the protest. Now I go to Atlanta and race and get protested again. How does the Atlanta Steward know that a precedent has been set in Fla??

Someone offered to start an appeals database last year. I think it's imperative SCCA do this. If we don't have a history of 'official' interpretations, all these arguments are worth the paper we wrote them on.

Thoughts?
