I think I see where you were going with this. . .I definitely wouldn't
go
to this extreme as its clearly cheating though. But this raises an
interesting point. You KNOW you would be protested for NOT preventing
something like that from happening. It's a "performance advantage" all
right. But where is it stated in the rule books that you have to
prevent
it. . ."nowhere" you anwser. I guess you can get away with it then, I
mean how would you know that it came loose, after all you have no reason
to make sure that your hoses are on since you have no really "good" way
to keep them attached if they keep coming off, and its not hurting your
vehicle. (just trying to be a devil's advocate of sorts, bring on the
flames) Oh well. I'm not suprised how quickly this thread ended.
IMHO,
