I think there's a lot open to interpretation on the rules. From your list of "a lot", name one thing that is against the stated rules of "must be a member of the club on race day"

That obviously is the case in this particular incident. Not obvious to Tom, myself, Tom's team, or the guy that enfoirces the rules.

It might be the right thing to do if Tom's results were taken out of the points for the club competition. Are you voluteering to be the guy who goes though all of the club rosters to makes sure that everyone else who is scored was a member for your arbitrary time period?

I can't speak for Tom, but could you take a crack at actually answering my questions?

Why would I need to go through the club rosters? I'm suggesting that only Tom's results be stricken. Because its non sensical to strick one person results when the same situation may occur for other clubs.
In addition, there doesn't look to be a specific rules infraction in this case. Hence let things stand The spirit of the rules appear to be broken...as Tom said he was an independant contractor. You would have to ask tom What he meant by that, but i think its an off hand remark. Does he plan on racing for Toledo in the future? Probably, he said he bought a skinsuit after the race. How many times has he raced for them in the past? Obviously never, but that isn't a requirement and again are you suggesting that tom is the only person who raced in this race for a new club? In addition, why did he decide to sign up the day before the race when he could've just raced solo? You'd have to ask tom, but i assume he raced as a team member to score points for his team.

If it's such a big deal why not just let the result go? Because he followed the rules and to go back a remove someone who followed rules for no reason, when he is probly not an isolated case is asinine.
