CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - The Keir Stocker is absolutely 1st rate craftsmanship

Kenny,

Very thoughtful, and thank you.

I do take this thread seriously, and my comments are not about the Keir car either; I haven't seen it. Rather, they are about the prevailing attitude that cheating is OK if you don't get caught, or if your favorite tech guy lets you through it's good forever anywhere. Stewart Way pointed those thoughts out very eloquently. There are still victims. Most racers on here wouldn't think of going up and robbing someone, but if they just squeak out a heads-up win over someone who hasn't cheated, its just as if they robbed them. I don't understand where the satisfaction comes from in that case. The problem is that it has become the prevelant thinking.

Someone said 99% of all Stockers are illegal. Shamefully, that point probably can't be argued. Unfortunately, if true, there are about 10 legal ones in the country.

You're right. I was one of those that didn't take it right. Maybe I'm too serious about this.

Have a good season.

Jerry
