And talking about safety, besides reducing visability, there is the remote
posibility of those of us with snap off/on mirrors accidently hitting it
during a run and then you have this loose object flying around the car ;-)
(May seem ridiculous, but not any more than some of the arguments for
leaving it on) Gee, if weight is an issue, then those people who run right
after lunch have a disadvantage too depending on how much they ate. And you
can't expect them not to eat, 'cause then they might get weak and pass out
during a run! Oh, I know, they can eat, digest as much as they can before
their run, then head to the porta-potty and stick their finger down their
throat to get rid of what ever is left................
(My apologies to the rules nit-pickers)
