Bzzzt Wrong: Rules say the distance "....must be _no less_ than the
distance found on the original equipment unit..." See Appendix G,
p.235.
If the perch was in a groove that provided a longer distance than OEM,
it would be legal. No other comments on the protest since I wasn't
there.
Katie: Congratulations on the top finish for a non-99 Miata!!! I
guess a lingering side-effect on Phantomitis makes you drive anything
faster.
