You were not sent away from the event, but rather penalized for an obvious rule infraction. Your exhaust exceeded the very specific rule which set the length limit at a firm 24" from the rear axle ce

The part of this whole deal that I don't understand is why the penalty was so harsh. Let's face it, a DSQ or a 10 second penalty are _both_ essentially disqualifications. Given the nature of the pen

You are correct that the pipe length and shape has a big effect on power output on a two stroke. A three inch shorter pipe which would accomodate a silencer legally may have a big effect on power. I

But we _don't_ currently have a requirement for silencers. So the option is (apparently) to either not run one at all and be loud & legal, or to run one to keep the noise down, but you're open to a

(Not to mention... Stingers can be removed in about 2 minutes with no effects. I fail to understand someone who chooses to protest their competitors rather than speak with them prior to their runs an

Or run one in such a way that it complies with the packaging rules. Perhaps an elbow between the the pipe and muffler would have done it? What I don't completely understand is, if these competitors n

Clarification: apparently they were originally DSQ, then one driver appealed and received a 10 sec penalty instead; the other driver figured his fate would be no better and decided not to appeal. App

This is quite true. However, there are many examples of rules that are important for safety in road-racing that are waived in Solo2. The requirement for mirrors, for example. I know Pat needs two mir
