Lexan windows.... Legal?

[jimmyc]

In the case of the CAI on the ITA Hondas at the ARRC, it was determined to be illegal even though they had run that way in another division for some years. The only divisional difference there was the willingness of someone to Protest at the ARRC.

It seems that you are implying that them running it for some years makes it legal. And that is not correct.

It had just never been protested, even years prior at the ARRC.

And to distill it further,

The only difference was someone willing to protest......

(and to be fair, the CAI cars owners felt that their "interpretation" was a legal one, and I actually have spoken with others, who were VERY high up in the Club Racing Dept, who sided with their interpretation.) That particular case was one where "reasonable men may differ", and it took awhile to shake out.

But, a backmarker would never see such a protest lodged against him, nobody's going to do that. That's the "culture" of the club Racing organism. In autocross, back in my day, the "culture" was different, and protests flew more regularly. We get what we sow.
