In the real world this does not happen. So it falls on the tech guy to judge based upon the rules we use in the us. And he does what he always does.....plain and simple. He's a motor company that also is a roar tech official who us then hired to run tech at races. What do you think is going to happen? His judgment is what dq'd people not trinity not roar (because it's not an official roar race only). He says that it was under. I think blaming roar completely and blaming trinity is way off base. Maybe.we need to look at who we use for tech. What and who they represent. And maybe just maybe find a outside source to provide tech. We shoot ourselves in the foot over and over in stock by doing this. And until the human element of judgement and or who one likes dislikes who one represents is out of the equation then this back and forth of tech will never end. It has to be a global ruling. It has to be a global standard of tech equipment. the stuff we use has to be consistant. A 100 dollar fluke brand meter is tested by the National fire agency. It's listed to be a gold standard. Use them. Use nice calipers. Whatever it is make it the same across the board
