H.sujet : C'est bien beau tout ça, mais comme il n'y a pas encore de commission jauge officielle à l'IKA, tout le monde pourra courir avec ce qu'il veut en toute légalité En cas de protest auprès du jury, celui-ci ne pourra que constater l'absence de cette commission. C'est comme ça que ça a été jugé l'année dernière en champ de France.
Ça s'appelle: se donner les moyens!
Quand je dis que le schpountz va trop vite.................
