I have the 2002-2004 AMA competition Regulations book and could not find it listed. Does anyone know if this maneuver is listed in the book. If so could you post the page #. Also does anyone know where I could find an Aresti for the FAI sequence? Thank you very much.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Garrett Morrison</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML><br clear=all><hr>Get more from the Web.
