Hypothetical situation. Driver A is excited because for the first time in several years his run group is scheduled to be first out. This means he may actually get home before O-dark thirty on Sunday night. 95% of the time his run group is last out, resulting in getting home extremely late on Sunday night/Monday morning. The plan is for driver A to finish the race, get loaded up, and head home as soon as the race is over.

Unfortunately, during the race driver A and driver B have a supposed incident. After the race driver B protests driver A for one of the gcr rules about not giving racing room, rough driving or some such. Driver A won the race.

How does a protest like this usually play itself out? I would assume that corner worker reports are called in or written up? Who in the group of officials actual has point on this type of protest? Once Driver B tells someone of his protest then what happens? And more importantly, WHEN does it happen?

Does the protest get ruled on right after it is filed, or do they wait until all run groups are done for the day? What happens if driver B never says anything to driver A, and driver A heads home right away? For that matter, what happens if driver A is aware of the protest but chooses to leave anyway?
