The recent upset at the first round of the HydroTurf National Tour regarding Bushell’s DQ has set off the PWC chatter on fire. Tonight after a no show of Bushell on the Liquid Speed Radio show Brian managed to get National Tour Promoter AJ handler on the show to clear up some rumors. AJ explained that they followed the rule book with their Bushell DQ decision based on the new ruling.By Michelle Petro AJ went on to say that he has a good team in place and his staff had done their job.
It is thought that Bushell went off the rule specific to weight as a proposed ruling compared to it being passed. Where the discrepancy comes into play is when the rule was to go into effect.
