    Not 1-inch. They had to go to frame-by-frame to detect any movement, followed by no movement, followed by the lights going out. And since the rule doesn't say "wheel movement," they can bust guys for fork compression.

    Hey, I tried the "work within the system, have a meeting" with these guys, after Road America. What they said they were going to do (fix it, in favor of rational enforcement), and what they then did (nothing), was completely different. At the end, all the operations guys at NJ could say, when asked how it affected fair competition, was "We're just following orders." And again said they were not ever told to change what they did at Road America, which was the first place the grid cameras had worked in a year.

    "Just following orders" didn't work as a defense in the late 1940s, and shouldn't work now. The idea that you have to be consistent and keep shooting people because if you don't, it's unfair to those you have already killed, is ridiculous.

    Say what you mean. Mean what you say. Do what you say you're going to do.

    Pop corn would be good, might have to run out to the rv and get some, I'm hungry (yes I know that was a given).

    Sorry Zoran, you're not allowed to finish last :D

    One use in 8600 posts is not excessive. But the only way it could have seemed more appropriate given the expression of the sad party uttering the excuse, would have been if he had clicked his heels as he said it.

    No GPS's aren't accurate enough to tell if you left the 12"x12" box (or how ever big they are).

    The camera's with the software would be able to tell this and if implemented properly flag it for review by a human to determine if its an issue per the rules.
