They got to the race, only to find that they had "all season radials that weren't load rated" (for the loads they'd see). They assumed they had the right "brake pads" and in fact didn't. Anyway. I was just trying to propose another angle. I think the whole thing was a mess and I'd expect more from the highest level of motorsports competition.

All Michilin tired cars took a warm up lap then parked. Probably the death of a USGP for a few years. Sheesh and some people say that the SCCA and NASCRAP is a political mess.....
