Woo-hoo, all those responses and I'm the only who actually looked at the
rulebook rather than mouthing off about ... what was the prize for the right
answer again?
IMO, the rule above makes running competitors at speed through a sharp turn
past the finish a no-no. It is not a suggestion or recommendation, note the
term *in all cases*. Even if you argue that point, you can't effectively
argue the intent, which is safety above all else. You gotta remember with
numnuts like moi running loose in Z06 powerhogs that anything is likely to
happen ...
