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 ...
