Our pits were right next to them and they were examining there anderson battery connector. I believe that there connector was lose and the leads started to touch and after a while everyone knows there is the mysterious electrical smoke. When they brought it back to the pits they had to replace a connecter or just pop it back into place. Everyone thing was smoked and chared but i believe they had pretty good luck throughtout the weekend.
