Jake, As usual you are the voice of reason. Thank you. I am only a fan, but still hold it against the last competitor that did this. I found it hard to believe at the time. I can't imagine Mischa's reasoning, nor the RC's not making the penalty more severe. Mischa brings a lot of attention to the race, and adds money that way, but cheating is cheating. I hope next year the rules will state something like "1 hour penalty" or "disqualified". Go Seacats!
