I would think if all equipment was with the rules, then it is bad luck or part of the risks associated with competing. Everyone is responsible for their own stuff.

If you signed off on a tech card that everything was good but are found to have expired and/or non-SFI stuff, you are willfully negligent and would be open to a lawsuit to cover all damages.

Ya know I've got a real problem with all of this legaleze crap.
If all of my equipment was within the rules then it is bad luck or part of the risks associated with competing. BUT, "Everyone is responsible for their own stuff".
IF I'm "responsible for my own stuff" and it fails then I'm apparently "negligent" because I'm "responsible for my own stuff"!
It's all double talk. If I'm legal and "responsible for my own stuff" and it fails or I'm not legal and "responsible for my own stuff" and it fails I'm apparently STILL libel!

I've seen ring gear pieces break off a Mopar converter, but it's usually when the starter hits and it falls out on the ground. Never seen one explode out.
