Steve David was penalized a lap before the start for making a premature move on his rival to take the inside line on the back straight of the pre-race warm-up lap.

The race proved to be an anti-climax to three thrilling days of racing in Qatar, with Jon Zimmerman holding on to take second place – after finishing third in January - and David lapping both Mark Evans and Ryan Mallow to place third, despite running a penalty lap.

"We have a spotter on the tower to watch when we pick up speed and make a move," said David. "I was sure that we were okay and we appealed against the decision, but it was not to be. It was one of those things.

So did they get Tommy T's motor out of the bay at the end of the race?

[SteveDavid]

Yes they were able to recover the U-11 engine. Hard to believe what 24 hours in a high salt content water can do with mixed metals. The combination of aluminum, magnesium and stainless made the engine an electrolysis factory. The casing is probably toast, internals might be repairable. The hull was severely damaged but will be rebuilt and likely better than it was, in time for the Sacramento race over Memorial Day weekend.
take care, Steve

Steve: Congrats on a race well run!

[Ratickle]

I don't think I'd be quite as nice on the penalty.....

[Donskihp]

These Penilities for changing lanes without proper distance have been an issue for a long time, there needs to be a better way to judge this. Hellicopters or radar sensors or something.

Wow, only 24 hours...

Should have used more zinc's I guess.....

[Pete B]

It is not that the motor was submerged for 24 hrs, it was the introduction to the air the causes, the corrosion to quickly take hold. this is why the U.S. Navy have such a corrosion control program for their aircraft that operate is a rich salt water enviorment. With out ever going in the water salt spray, plays havoc on airframes , and engines!
