I took about 1200 photos while I was there. I'll post some hopefully tonight.

Looks like it was valve train/ top end issues.  Aren't they using a C5r based engine / derivative?
At this point those things should be damn near indestructible / the builder should be able to build those in his sleep, a mechanical problem for a GM supported race car is pretty much inexcusable. JMHO
