Can you just imagine, Langston protesting Browns 3rd place, they strip the bike, and do find something illegal, strip Brown of his points and hand the championship to Langston. Every race from then on I can see a protest going against Langston - quid pro quo - also very unsporting like, and bad for the sport.
After all, we are dealing with professionals who use every trick in the book to win.
Remainds me of the time Schumaker was stripped of a win in F1, and Ferrari proved that by placing the car in a certain position that the height of the car was within spec, and got their points back !
