Could easily have been a rule 69 issue I heard.

Port starboard downwind with Rod Waterhouse. Rod hailed a foul... then protested when Jerome refused to 360 I take it. Jerome used a "witness" in the hearing that was later determined to be false... no where near the incident. The re-opened protest ended with a DSQ for Jerome. Could have cost him the championship. He still was pissy about the whole thing and nearly caused a riot at the award dinner.
