You"re funny Scott!
With regard to the "rules", the only one that matters is #94 (it's been a long time, not positive on the actual rule number) but it translates roughly to: all the rest of the stuff in the book is irrelevant as it is all subject to re-interpretation, at the discretion of the FIA/ACO at any time. And that means, I hope your budget for entertainment is sufficient. ;- ))
Look forward to seeing you!
