Saw an email where information gained from the Video from the aircraft shows the trim failed AFTER the pull up. Rumors suggest the aircraft had undergone major modifications immediately prior to the Race, had not had a full set of airtests done prior to the race, and that having a very aft CG combined with turbulence caused the upset during which the trim tab failed.
