This is the first time I've heard of a race winner getting DQ'd for drafting (...probably the first time I've heard of anyone getting DQ'd for it?).

Julianne Brackett was the first female over the line at the weekend's Thunderbird Run on Lake Tahoe. But she spent a bit of time behind one of the guys, and seeing it was a WPA (World Paddle Assoc.) sanctioned event, she got disqualified.

Posted a bit more info on the blog: www.supracer.com/thunderbird-run-sup-race-winner-disqualified-for-drafting/

What do you think? Good call? Bad call? Ruining racing or entirely necessary?
