Tech Time at The Dragon’s Tail

The official tech team arrived and immediately went to inspecting the cars. They went over each entry top to bottom. After some discussion and deliberation on the car build rules, one vehicle was found to be in violation and was disqualified from the race. The Ferrari from Team Powell was sporting illegal tires and other parts. It seems there was a mix up at the shop and the wrong chassis was loaded on to the transport. An unfortunate outcome, but the team still has one entry in the race. Several other cars came close to a DQ as some of the teams were creative with rule interpretation. Leave it to racers to always push the envelope…Let’s Race!
