Summary: KIT - Need to mention RACE in a kit requires 	!PRERACE:1,%

Initial Comment:
In the Kit file, a RACE:x must have a !PRERACE:1,% on it if the Kit is called by a Race. Otherwise you'll get an infinite loop.


Example: Race Foo has KIT:1|Default Foo

STARTPACK:Default Foo
RACE:Foo 	!PRERACE:1,%

Without the  !PRERACE:1,% the Race will add the kit, the kit will then add the Kit, the kit adds the race, etc., etc.

Message:
This would be better addressed in the Global Other docs under the KIT tag.
Otherwise it belongs in a LST Class on Kits.

Would you agree Drew?

Message:
I understand that its the code that crashes, but are you sure it isn't the
way the data is coded up? If we didn't include a KIT tag in the Race entry
in the Race file would we still have this problem? If not, then the problem
is driven by a data implementation issue and I don't think we should
'document' such issues in the tag docs. We need to document how the tags
work, not how our included data implementations work.

Message:
Code requires this at the present time. Without it, you'll have a crashed
program stuck in an endless loop cycle.

Message:
Is this driven by code or by the implementation of the data file?
