Probably not failing in the big picture, but someone? sure screwed the pooch in this situation.

[Rajflyboy]

Just give Fergy the win back and let’s move on

I'd say everyone screwed the pooch.

[Barbecueboy]

I believe them both, hopefully they will get to the bottom of it and shake hands on the decision.

Oh, and…….Tire rule, Lmao.

It's a "he said", "he said" and there isn't a tire in the catalog that makes sense for there to be confusion. I don't see how anyone is blameless here.

As for everyone trying to take Fergys side, there's really no evidence to take a side.

Sounds like a good case of splitting hairs. Common sense would indicate the tire was not different enough from the legal
tire to create an advantage. Sounds like the winner got the shaft and not the gold mine.

In a situation like this, it would have been best for Fergy to have handled this via email, or at least followed up, so that there could be no denying what he was told....but, I don't guess he figured he'd get a different story later either though, seeing as how this man was supposed to be a friend, and wouldn't think you'd need a paper trail.

Remember when we got both sides of the story before proclaiming guilt? Remember Duke Lacrosse? I prefer to get Ultimate's story, the pronounce the sentence if required. Chris told his, let's hear theirs.

I'm not picking a side but I do agree with that. It's so easy to run to facebook and let the whole world know. It's kind of embarrassing really, yet a lot of racers do it.

How can you say that? They had tire tech BEFORE THE FEATURE. He passed tire tech. That should be the end of the story. How can they say the tire was OK before the feature then DQ him afterwards because the tire tech guy "didn't know what he was looking at"?

[manwplan]

This should be a full investigation by DoD but that would require them to be actual impartial journalists instead of fan boys. Plus there's so much inbreeding (Kelcar, Uiltimate, DoD, Castrol, Wild West, The Dome) no one wants to get to the bottom of it.

Any rule can be enforced before or after the race.
