Then they had certainly better list it on the entry form. I have only
had one problem with an officious ass in the 30 or so DEs I've run. He
didn't like my stopwatch mounted on the console. So I hid it and put it
back after leaving grid. This is the exception more than the rule... He
also tried to get me excluded from the next club race on a technicality.
He was overrulled by the national scrutineers. They sensibly noted the
discrepancy in my logbook and told me to fix it before the next event.
