Has Jeff or Cody Lane been caught for cheating at a NHRA eve
 
Why so much negativity directed at Cody and Jeff Lane? I don't think they have ever been caught for total disregard of NHRA Tech Specs. Anyone that goes fast pushes the envelope on the NHRA Tech Guide. I always run my car 20# heavy even on record runs.

I can't say what I would've done had I run 1.20 under. Never have, but I don't think I would pull the shenanigans that were attempted here. You lose ALL the respect people nationwide had for you. And then other stories surface:

I talked too you and you told Cody too pull the car up. I told you then you dont want too do that. You guys did and 25 minutes later Cody was tossed. In the Dragster a while later I read it was a 'misunderstanding". I dont beleive that is a misunderstanding. I told you what was going too happen before we raced. Thats my 2 cents Put it towards a Rule book or a mirror. Grant Singer
Maybe they don't look in the mirror before bed. Integrity is a great feeling when truly deserved and I am not saying the Lanes are cheaters but I am saying they tarnished the Lane name

I don't think the horsepower adjustment was enough punishment if the accusation is factual.

Go to the NHRA competition page 10/1/18. He was caught with the wrong carb on the Super Stocker. Why didn't he get a year off at that time?? BP

Probably the same reason his DQ from this race was “reversed!”

If you do a search in classracer on woodburn lodrs and go back a few pages a round sept of last year there is a thread about the carburator. I would do a link. But am on a phone

Jeff had raced with the wrong index in Comp that weekend.

Cheater or no Scruples......you call it


On a side note.. Do the division champs in S,SS and Comp get torn down in your division.

Re: Has Jeff or Cody Lane been caught for cheating at a NHRA
 
Nope on the champs being torn down, usually not known till Vegas Divisional. Last one torn down in Div 6 was my self at that race in Sept.

Re: Has Jeff or Cody Lane been caught for cheating at a NHRA
 
There seem to be two groups of racers I've observed over the years, as it relates to cheating. Group 1 says (proudly) "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin' hard enough". Group 2 says "The rules are there to ensure good, equitable, honest competition for all. May the best man win". I have always belonged to Group 2, but have many times been called naïve. I can't help but think about where NHRA might be today, if they would have actually enforced the rules, years and years ago. A Super Stock car, for example, probably wouldn't cost $150,000 to build, because crazy-expensive, formerly blatantly illegal stuff would have been squashed, and the cheater punished.

And stockers would not cost $100,000 plus ! $25,000 to $35,000 just for the bogus engines if its just a small block Chevy !

Re: Has Jeff or Cody Lane been caught for cheating at a NHRA
 
Greg's post about categories 1 & 2 got me remembering old round tables of NASCAR guys laughing about the antics of Jr Johnson, Smokey Yunick et al....
It seems NASCAR fines, threatens and suspends a racer a race...they and we move on, so common it doesn't seem to besmersh the racer

I can't recall a "story" of old about "pushing the rules" or as one racer said he reads the white in the rule book....BTW, does anyone have a COMPLETE rule book?

This case as read....seems beyond the pale, and certainly threatens the reputation of the team involved....if true

What NHRA division today have the strongest leadership team, Division and Technical Directors?
Obviously D6 is not too strong.

Re: Has Jeff or Cody Lane been caught for cheating at a NHRA
 
We have been lucky in Div One. For years we have had some of the best guys at both the Directors job and all the guys and gals involved in tec. And we should not forget the support team that goes with these guys and gals. BP

I was told not long after the head porting rule went into effect that there were so many bogus heads NHRA didn't want to throw any more "resources" at the problem and decided to take the easier route. And then they stopped checking entire cars for other illegal modifications (heavy roofs, rear quarters, filled cages, acid dipped doors fenders etc.) except when enough people bitched about certain cars. Seems it all got out of hand during the mid to late 80s.

I've been racing in division 7 for 27 yrs now. Though I only race 2 or 3 divisionals presently. The tech department still looks at every car carefully.
We have spot checks at the scales for loose ballast and other things. I've only hit the 1 under once in my life so I'm not a professional at it but they sure did look it over at fuel check. They have torn down very fast cars in the past. I'm the pit crew on multiple cars so I seem to see very little too. I think they do a great job personally.

All that stuff was going on in the seventies

Division 1 is still pretty tough in tech,still very knowledgeable people on the crew. I'd put them up with the best from other division's.

Div. 1 always was the best with Div. 3 being a close 2nd. I understand that my friend Dave Ley has retired from a lot of it lately. I will have to call him and see how he is doing.

Does any other division pull a head on their leaders in comp, ss and stock like div. 4
