Where's the 'monkey-throwing-shit-bombs' smiley? THAT'S what this thread has become!

1. I think the language in the GCR glossary needs clarification.
2. I think Dave should write some paper on illegal brake backing plates.
3. I think the stewards will disallow the protest (shortly after making cuckoo-cuckoo-cuckoo noises).
4. I think Dave should appeal the ruling to the COA.
5. I think the COA will uphold the steward's decision, refunding Dave's money less the amount held by SCCA for a well-founded protest.
6. We will then have an official ruling on whether or not backing plates are INDEED part of the defined 'brake pad'. Which is where the majority of us are already.

or.....

7. We can just go race some fricken' cars around the track all weekend and have some fun!
