Post-race inspections found that the engine in the #43 car had non-approved parts in the bottom end. Although they have no performance advantage, the engine must be deemed unapproved. The parts in question are the same weight and configuration of the short track engine but not approved for competition in the ASA Midwest Tour.
We feel that the #43 team was informed by the seller that it was the same (with a few minor changes) as is approved in our series. In belief of the seller, the #43 ran the engine in our series. We believe that the #43 team in good faith changed what they believed were the differences in the engines before they arrived to participate. Unfortunately that was not all that had to be changed.
ALL TEAMS MUST HAVE A SPOTTER FOR ALL ON TRACK ACTIVITY.......PRACTICE, QUALIFYING, RACING..........ALL SPOTTERS MUST HAVE A SCANNER.....
