Toby, I believe you are right. DQ for that race only. As you know, we had that very thing happen, this year, at the Seattle points race, and he was sent home, no fine or suspension.

Re: What Do You Think About This?
 

His friends and companions should explain to him - in no uncertain terms - the error of his ways

A divisional points race is no place for crap like this

We do not need tech to talk to him - we need to - as a racing fraternity

A band of brothers regardless of our brand preference - who all believe this is just plain wrong

I am surprised MOPAR wants there name on the article



:-) peace

There ya go.

Re: What Do You Think About This?
 

Toby - It was wrong . Period ............And why they would brag about it is beyond me -- maybe some of you racers on the left coast need to have a serious chat with these folks about affecting the outcome of championships etc .................

Re: What Do You Think About This?
 

I think this happens WAY more often than people think. I would like to see hoods opened for some sort of inspection after time runs at divisional events. Check a carb, pull a valve cover, check for aluminum driveshafts, etc. I'd bet you would see quite a few cars slow down. As this thread points out, it usually the cars at the bottom of the ladder that cheat more than the guys at the top!

I don't know about div 6, but he could have driven past the scales here in Div 4 and the run would not have made it to the qualifying ladder.

I know that in Div 4 Wesley has mad us carry our carbs to tech, he painted them, then did "hood checks" throughout the weekend.

Re: What Do You Think About This?
 

The illegal carb thing is Wrong! As a Div 6 H/SA competitor I was not in Medford, if I was I would be PISSED! That being said I have met Chris and I think he is a great guy, he and his team are always out to have fun. Those out here in the 6 have seen me trying and fighting with my car getting it to run, sometimes it works ,sometimes not, and sometimes it breaks. In all of that my thought process has never been to use illegal parts. I was at the Seattle divisional when the team mentioned was punted and i feel the same then as I do now...WHY? Running under index knowing your car is legit is almost euphoric ,as it is something not everyone can do, almost as good as winning an event. At the very least he admittted the wrong doing but at the end of the day is the price worth it? Respect of the fellow racers isnt easily gotten but easily lost, the tech dept. will bring out the microscope (hopefully) and the outcome of an important race was changed.

Re: What Do You Think About This?
 

Swapping stuff at a T&T is one thing. Doing it at a points meet qualifying day isn't. It affected the ladder and pairings.I guess he just didn't think of that.What makes me wonder how that man thinks is why he published photos and put that story on the Internet.What he needs to probably do is take that legal carb and give it and the proper money to one of the carb guys out there that would make it fast and legal- Clark Holroyd, Dean Oliver,Val Hedworth,etc,although if I were them,I might not want their business.

Re: What Do You Think About This?
 

I believe that this year it is legal. Hasn't the rule been changed for next year?
