The Nylock and other well intentioned flavor of the month rulings got me to 
thinking.

Really unrelated, but funny anyway. At one of the 'former' Chicago Historics 
we were paddocked just around the corner from Turn Five,  100 yards off 
track, and we were flying a Yellow John Deere Flag with leaping Deere on a 20 
foot pole. (Two Retirees)

The Can Am guys complained because as they came down the hill they became 
distracted, as they perceived it to be a caution flag.

We thought a bit odd as we were so far away from the track, and they likely 
had to look up, but ultimately we  understood. Nobody needs to be distracted 
while flying one of these Can Am monsters...but I am not sure I would be 
distracted by an open Monza Gas Cap.
