Take it how you want, but this is why when I was emailing questions last year I made a fake email with a fake name. I was picturing in my head each inspector having a little piece of paper with names to check extra close.

Immature race organizers may well react to "boundary questions" with suspicion. Organizers who have been at it a while know that many boundaries are where performance peaks out. Consequently they recognize the importance to each builder/driver that they understand exactly where the boundaries are.
