Ty,
Please don't edit out the parts where I said "the person that issued the tech sticker / annual" and then say that it's not on the person that issued the tech sticker. I tried to cover both cases (annual and no annual). I know that if the car has an annual w/ no notations in the log book, that the tech inspector at a subsequent race isn't going to see the car. If it was given an annual w/ a non-compliant cage, then the liability falls back to the person that issued the annual.

I did that edit, Bill, because I wanted to emphasize the separation of the two processes, not to slant your words to better attack you. I can, looking back now, see why you would take it that way, though. Sorry 'bout that.

But, based on the info that came to light after both of our posts, it seems that the car didn't have an annual, and the the chief steward was the one that allowed the car to run. He'd be the one on the hook in that case. There are some things that just should not be given a pass, because of the potential liability that they open up. Non-compliant cages, out of date belts, out of date helmet, etc. I really don't understand why someone that's really supposed to know better would open themselves up like that.

Me either.
