This is what someone sent me on PM:
Hi Ivan. Just wanted to send you a thank you for sticking your neck out for all the racers. I'd weigh in on this publicly but I personally have enough drama locally fighting favouritism amongst "the elite". It takes a lot of guts to stand up and bring up this issue and all us guys who would never have this happen for them appreciate it. Rules are rules and there should never be any grey areas. At least this happened at the first race of the season and can now not be used by any racer to make the A main. Again thank you
Sincerely a B main racer
