Geez,
I go away for 12 hours....
To be clear, I always thought that the reason there are 4 Citation guys on the FSRAC is because those guys are super serious club racers that are willing to donate their time and energies to helping the club. I know all four of them. Great guys. Hard competitors. Dedicated to the Club.
Steve Lathrop (one of the best engineers i have ever met) did mention two things above that might need clarification.
1. The Radons have not been protested. That does seem to be true. It could be because of three possible reasons:
a. Fellow FC competitors don't have the balls to protest it. (somehow I can't seem to believe that.)
b. Fellow FC competitors can't figure out what is illegal to protest. (more likely)
c. Fellow FC competitors just don't care.
2. Yes the Radon did fail early self-protests. Those were mentioned by Steve. But, Nathan went back to the drawing board, made redesigns and again self-protested himself. He passed all those resulting self-protests. Because of the self-protest process, those results are secret until Nathan were to need to give them to a Scrutineer in reponse to a protest. No protest has occured, so Nathan has not needed to produce those documents. So, none of us know what may be in those papers (including the FSRAC, Steve, Richard, Wren, me, etc.).
Ok, back to the regularly scheduled ranting.
