"visable evidence" Hmmm. Battery operated electric drill visible in pitlane, rule says in black and white you can't have any electric-driven tools in the pits.
Bob, think about this for a minute. The rule is written so that officials on the scene do not have to make the judgement call on whether the tool is a spark generating tool or not. Keeps life simple, no arguments between teams and officials in pitlane, and in an extreme case, it could be too late before an official can make the determination if the tool is spark generating or not.
As far as Phoenix goes, I would say that a person with 25 years of officiating experience in professional sports car racing, an influential member of the FIA, ACCUS and various other safety groups probably can make a better judgement call on a race situation than any member on any forum.
