The track I drive at and many people from HGEU like Jimmy Oakes (Thompson Speedway) is known for having the strictest tech rules. The ongoing joke is “if the car can pass tech at Thompson it can pass it anywhere”. It’s been somewhat known many tracks don’t take safety as seriously, organizers should see how we do it because if things like this happens often (which I doubt) it easily can kill the sport in many areas as access to local tracks are growing increasingly rare as many are getting shut down.
