991657P.pdf   08/03/2000  Gail Brookins  v.  Intl. Motor Contest
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  99-1657
   Northern District of Iowa   
   Civil case - Antitrust. In sports activities, unless a rule-maker's 
   decision was tainted by supplier coercion, the exclusion of a 
   particular kind of equipment is the incidental result of defining 
   the rules of the game and does not constitute a violation of the 
   antitrust laws; district court did not err in requiring plaintiffs to 
   define the relevant market and to show that IMCA had market 
   power in that market; given that auto racing has many classes, 
   plaintiffs could not define the relevant market as IMCA-sanctioned 
   modified car racing; plaintiff failed to show IMCA colluded with 
   plaintiff's rivals to exclude its modified transmission.
