However, if Team A is wrong and the challenged car is perfectly legal, then Team A has to pay for the tear down and rebuild. This is their penalty for filing a false charge. A similar policy could be instituted at the competitions if excessive spurious "they are shooting too fast!" charges become a problem.

But what does team A pay? Krispy Kremes?
