the track was real crappy wouldnt hold lines, all he was doing was riding smart finishin the race. He may not even know what the factory mechanics are doing to his bike, i would say they need to ask his mechanic or team manager, and really who cares, its data acquisition, they are prob using it for gearing changes, or even tire selection see which ones gets better grip
You can be sure Stewart knows everything that is being done to his bike. In order for these guys to be as good as they are, they need to give proper feed back to the mechanics. Only way they can do that is to know what has been added or changed on their machine and give feedback if those changes made a difference. Then on top of that, if the mechanics do something to his bike he doesn't know about and it disqualifies him.........there is no excuse of "I didn't know" to the AMA. Mechanic doesn't get disqualified, rider does.
