About the storms at the track: there was damage to lots of awnings and personal injury to one of the allstars. The story I heard was that his feet became tangled in on of the big blow-ups at the track and it banged him around and up against the concrete barriers. He had damage to his face and a dislocated shoulder from the rumors I heard. I don't know what his name is.

About Cour's DQ for fuel: He was DQ on his first time run for something. I had heard that it was for fuel, don't know for sure. He obviously passed at some time, because he got on the sheets. I would think that tech checked everyone's fuel that won the 4th round. Since Cour's failed, could it have been he had already been warned, and then tossed after it didn't pass again. My dealings with fuel check is that they give you every opportunity to get it right during time trials, even letting you know if it is close to not passing. And also the fuel will vary from track to track. I bought fuel at one national event and was at another national event the following weekend and the first fuel did not pass. So you do what you have to do to pass at that event, including buying more fuel. Maybe Cour will get on here and explain exactly what happened. I know how it is to drive a long way and then get beat!
