He said, “You start the cars in the green and then there is a levy I don’t know its 3/8th of an inch or something before you fall into the red(disqualify).”
He added, “The only thing that I can think of is when they are allowed to unhook the shocks they pull the front of the car up. And they overpull the front of the car which dipped the left rear.
“Because the spring of the left rear is kinda soft and that lowered the left rear spoiler height. it’s where they check all the way to the back of the car. And that made it low.”
