Post Impound Reports - 2021 Road America - The National Championship

 4/17/2021 Saturday: 8-Hour Event Directors: Chelsey Vickery / Dana Morrison Tech Chief: Ray Franck Car 108 Protest Details: The filed protest alleged the 108 car ran a coil on plug assemble from the 3.5L Nissan engine, not the 3.0L engine claimed in the vehicle’s swap form. Rule 4.3.2 specifies that “Ignition coil(s), aftermarket” are assessed a value of 10 points. Tech Inspector / Event Director Final Findings: ChampCar searched a variety of online auto part vendors by cross-referencing the part numbers on the coils and comparing them to coils recommended for 3.0L Nissan engine. ChampCar determined that replacement parts vendors list the same coils as direct stock replacements for the 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5L Nissan engine. ChampCar, per rule 5.5.2.2, determined the protest to be invalid. Car 108 retained its’ first-place finish.  ___________________________________________________________ 4/18/2021 Sunday: 7-Hour Event Directors: Chelsey Vickery / Dana Morrison Tech Chief...
