Shane took trouble to go to the pits and explain why the carby protest was dismissed; and because of that I understand where the decision came from. We used the same carby in the last clubby at Brendale a week ago; and would have used it here had not been against the rules, and I know of another driver who also would have. Many thanks to Shane for being transparent about this; it helped with understanding it, but running that carby is a breach of rule 1.8: "
No internal or external modifications of any kind that deviate from factory original condition including the carburetor and cooling head. (Other than maintenance and repairs and altering of head gasket shims)". A car one gram under weight would not win a race because of that; but it would still normally be looked at as a breech, and it seems perhaps a little inconsistent to allow another breech.
But all this aside; I would like to thank the club for a great day, we enjoyed the day despite the misfortune of having to pull out of the final with the clutch full of twine from some rope debris.
Kindest regards,
Lars.
