Instead of a “Protest”, Competitors with a question or concern about another competitor’s vehicle or behavior may file a “Compliance Query” to the Chief Steward, in writing prior to the end of competition for an event. The Chief Steward or designated official or compliance committee will determine the answer to the question as soon as possible and before official results are posted.

NOTE: While the right to protest in proper cases is undoubted, it should be remembered that PHA events are sporting events to be conducted in a sporting spirit. In addition, all events are organized and managed by amateurs who cheerfully give their time and do their best, and the competitor may expect some imperfections of the organizers and of his fellow competitors, and that, to a reasonable extent, these things are part of the chances he takes in entering the competition.
