Other runs have similar "SPRINTS" which can also be from the start (flag drop) to the FIRST CARD STOP AS WELL. These results are also heavily publisized for other runs.

Just like we have rules of the waterways most notably called "Rules of the Road" which is also referred to often at the drivers meetings....
Now if it is such a concern of the MM and LIOPA, then maybe they should contact PRA directly and suggest they reoword their website....
So with that I use Ron's quote:

We need the manufacturer support just like manufacturers need our runs to show case there products. Hopefully the only race we have is manufacturers coming out with new and better products that help us safely enjoy are time on the water.

Throw in Lot's of big block HP in a car originally built for family picnic's , Then put in an in experienced 16 year old driver . Hell almost half of us survived that ordeal .
Just protect your'e selves from one another by building a safer set of rules and then follow them . It's obvious you are all a bunch good people , so just look out for each other .
