Wednesday is scrutineering. Each car is inspected for safety and compliance with the race rules. Drivers are weighed and assigned handicap weights to equalize the drivers.
We had some early excitement when the car was measured and thought to be over length but was okay once the measuring procedure was corrected.
Critical test is that each driver must demonstrate that they can enter and exit in less than 15 seconds.
Every part of the car is checked for compliance with the race rules. This is reviewed beforehand but there is always some confusion over the interpretation of wording or intent of rules. Safety is priority and there isn't any gray area.







The battery pack is removed for close inspection. This will be tagged with a tamper proof lock and inspected at the end of each day of the race. The pack is well designed and generates a lot of interest from the inspection team

Mike, Rachel and I after the car has passed. With great relief the team packs the car back in the trailer and heads back to the track.They still have work to do to get ready for tomorrows road drive. It is late again and Annette and I are heading back to the hotel.
