A protest at a Local Event?

YeeGods! - In Nebraska we'd have to stop the event and have an ad-Hoc
board meeting.

Yeah, I realize that I could do that.  I'd much rather stay within the
rules.

One of our local members runs a car in a class that it doesn't totally
fit in.  At the beginning of the season he spoke with the competitors in
that class, was upfront about it, and none of them had a problem with
it.  Well, one of his competitors was only fine with it until he lost to
the misclassed car - then comes the protest. I'd rather avoid the
situation of making someone choose to either protest me to begin with or
just wait until I beat them.

I want the mod solely to keep the brakes cool on the track, and if I can
make the mod in such a way that it can be undone easily for autocrosses,
I will.  If not, I'll run in BSP and make it SP legal.
