Travis, with all due respect, and thank you for posting your opinion, but the cost of building an LS1 is outragous. No way would I have rushed putting this motor back together in that short period of time and risk overlooking something to make first round.
The rule book states very clearly the procedure for protests. Weather, track or any other circumstance is not defined. The rule book is black and white and if you don't abide by it, then what good is it? The correct thing to do was to allow the racer to race, then when the racer got beat, that would have been the time to take him apart. Only if the racer had a heads up would anyone have anything to say about being 8 grams light, but the fact of the matter is that no way this would enhance performance.
If the protest procedure was allowed to be altered then the assembly weight of the rod and piston should have been altered too .... rules are rules .....
