All I have is hearsay. But I think the winner Haldeman has said his axles are straight from Mazda in 2013/14 and untouched. The car was specifically built to win championships and only run in a few of the championships knowing it would be torn down.
The other guy with that long post brought up that NASA was on a witch hunt for him and Haldamen was collateral damage.

There was some that echoed the sentiment that people in certain regions have been defecting from NASA SM and choosing to go with SCCA based on some of the same things like this. Using something they knew was going on as a way to bust certain people.

Sounded like screwed to me and agree the axles didn't allow him to move up 20 places or how many ever he did to get to first place.
