All of you have a good understanding of the rule and even the workarounds.
The basis for the evolution of the rule is the lack of evolution among those entrusted
with the responsibility to act responsibly from both sides.
The Speedweek event is too large to manage with such a diverse group of people going in all directions.
Insurance has a very clear definition of the competition area where a vehicle can be run .
SCTA has chosen to not make that area suitably available so there it went.
For example, if I saw somebody holding a rock in the front of a tire smoking bike that was operated
by a less than suitably attired rider,
I would help them along through tech when they were ready and say "See Ya after everybody has run for a day longer than you."
I would hope that sit down time would give you pause to think about your contribution.
If you have to have me do the thinking for you it can be rough.
