If you are protested, and provide a shop manual, and it doesn't have the info
we want, you've complied with the rule. The burden of proff shifts to the
protestor. If you're protested and supply nothing in your defense, what would
you have the PC do? You have to declare a year on your entry form, so the
specs for that car are the specs for what you declare it to be.

This problem has been discussed, too. We'd love to hear solutions proposed.
Only radials have to be DOT??? Or???

It's not as if you have to bring it to registration, but everyone should have
as much documentation as possible at his/her disposal to defend against
protests.
