I also find it amusing that Calvin, Rhys, Sam, and many of the other "pros" all got to do similar standing burnouts, fly-bys, and dyno pulls in the hot-pit with no repercussions after we were similarly instructed not to do so by SCCA.
After making mention of it on more than one occasion, in a driver's meeting the SA22C RX7 was DQ'd for running R compounds in the front.
When I asked about the drivers disobeying all the
safety rules, SCCA's response?
"Oh... Yeah... I forgot about that."
Glad to see that SCCA has our safety and well-being on their minds. Especially since they were contracted for technical and safety management of the series.
I have emailed SCCA and FormulaD about some of these issues and have received no real response. Cute!
