I must say, however, that this is an excellent feature and very effective so a simple modification could prevent violation of the 60" rule.

So alot of people are probably wondering about this...I talked with ref's aobut the wings and asked the extent of this rule, they said that if we had them up and someone ran into us and they went outside the 60" cube it was ok, but if we drove into someone with them up and then this happened then we would be penalized.

As to tipping 1345, I was pretty sure we were going to be dq'd after that I don't know why it wasn't a penalty.
