    Ah, our first Old Guy having a freak out...

    Sure I can. Why not? regs says "does not dangerously protrude". However, I fail to find a definition of that term in the GCR, thus it is a subjective call. And, subjectively speaking, I find that these large pintles have large enough surface area - and are covered in foam - such that it is no more dangerous a striking object than the rollbar that is a couple inches from your head. They're certainly no more dangerous than those silly-ass 1980s-era NHTSA-required protruding bumper ends on our 1980s Improved Touring cars.

    Besides, ever seen some of those fancy-schmancy thin-walled flat-plate loops that stick out of the bumpers of our fancy-schmancy Porsches and BMWs? In my opinion, those are far more "dangerous" (in terms of potential opportun....errrr, damage to Miatae) than these. As long as the Miatas don't hit him and they'll be all right. And if he's close enough to hit them then they suck and probably deserve it anyway (juuuuust kidding).

    GA, relishing in the thought of all the screaming these cars are going to create...

    The most entertaining place will be the tech shed when the ITEZ first arrive for their initial inspection. Let's make sure that we have First-Aider on stand by to revive and calm down the Tech Old Guard.

    As long as you're ITEZ, no prob my friend we give you a lot of leeway!

    Actually, I think you'd look pretty good with a big chicken head on your roof...

    I am sure you meant this as a joke but I had to deal with a protest over a set of those on a race car a few years ago. That's an hour of my life I'll never get back and why I am happy to be spending more time behind the wheel this year.
