Tanner Foust Wants Qualifying Points in 2010 – Changing Rear Suspension

Tanner Foust’s Scion tC Protested at Formula D Seattle
Hold the Phone: Tanner Foust’s Scion tC Might Still Face Legal Issues
In case you remember all of this nonsense around Formula Drift Seattle last season it all resulted in Tanner being fined his qualifying points for the 2010 season. If you look over the 2009 standings you will see towards the end of the season he didn’t receive his qualifying points due to a fine based on the rear suspension and some other items. Well it looks like the AEM/Rockstar Energy Drink team is getting their ducks in a row for the tech day coming up and Long Beach! Something tells me Tanner Foust and this team won’t be failing to qualify for Top 32 at any point this year, other teams be warned.

The firewall is still illegal! Check out the engine bay shots on the speedhunters link above…
i know that if it even got to compete it must have been “legal” but no one said anything till he won the Seattle event….what im wondering is how did he first go through tech and no one said anything,then Foust wins Seattle and he gets fined with not receiving any qualifying points for rounds 5,6,7?seem like the rules were changed half way through the season…..not defending Foust of the team but thats what i think..hmmm/
Well if nothing else, TRD has V-10 blocks sitting around from F1
j/k.
I also thought maybe the firewall was little off but not really sure of how that would play out. It will be interesting to see how it goes.
mid-season tech inspections happened in Seattle. A formal protest was also filed between Vegas and Seattle. I believe the protest had been started before Vegas, they were just waiting for more drivers to sign it.
And Foust won Vegas, not Seattle.
