Hey Tam-a-ram-a-ding-dong -
Agreed - protest was filed, ruled on, then reversed without a request to reopen the hearing. Of course, I'm not there, so I want to say again that second guessing from home is risky behaviour. Reason given to reopen the hearing was a requirement in the class rules for a protest flag, which I can't find.
Also agree we're expected to self-regulate. Great idea unless it isn't happening.
Oh well - decision made and published. Best to leave it alone and let's turn our attention to the finish of an exciting race!
