I agree with you Cosmo the race is over, and hey he did one heck of a job after getting involved in the accident to work his way back up through and finish 3rd.  Wonder if the teams weren't prepared for the RF to heat up as much as they did last night as watching a number of cars coming into corner 1 the right front was glowing red fairly early in the 100 lap event.

They told everyone (ie the drivers and crews) that they were going to count caution laps tonight because of time restrictions, but coming pit side during a caution would not lose you laps as per any other regular night.  In all honesty could you have expected anything else if we were not allowed to pit on pit road.

Cosmo after the race Morgan and Brown said at the drivers meeting they were told if you pit u go a lap down,I agree it is the stupidist rule I have ever heard but if you make rules stick by them.

Well I guess maybe I am wrong.  But like I said earlier the race is over...no need talking about it any further...Many other cars pitted and stayed on the lead lap.

Besides, does anyone want to win a race by having the first place car dq'd for something like that.

Yes I can see tech infractions being an issue if that car were outside the rules.
