Whether or not the glider "submarined" under the truck is irrelevant -
what is relevant is the truck shouldn't have been there per contest

enforcing these rules.

Right you are Tom but you gotta love Rich, ever the master of rhetoric.
And remember, Mihai was out of the country looking for new business
opportunities.....AND ASYLUM in my Constitutionally protected opinion.
