<VV> Strange economy run

[J R Read_HML]

Hey Barry,

I've never done an econo run.  Until very recently, my filler neck would
leak (on the convert) if I filled it too far.  I've gotten in the habit of
stopping the pump the moment I hear a gurgle.  I figured THAT (leaky neck)
would put me at a *bit* of a disadvantage in an econorun.  It is fixed now,
so maybe I'll try one - just for grins.

So, I am not familiar with the rules.  But, it would seem that a participant
who will not cooperate with a valid request of the event
organizer/master/whatever, should rate a DQ on the event.

'66 beater Coupe - icemobile 4/140
