Ed,
Some tracks do allow it. Our local track here doesn't because some winning racers didn't want to lose their advantage. It had nothing to do with cheating because they aren't up enough on how to cheat in that area. The one racer they all think is cheatiing is just a really good racer and has won just as many races with his wife's personal Durango as he has with either his footbrake or electronics bracket car. He also won several heads up big tire racers by treeing the hell out of racers that had much faster cars. He is a smart racer and uses his head and talent to win. He recently won Super Gas at a Division 4 points meet. He is a good guy but is very competitive and not liked by some mainly because he is such a serious competitor.
I do know there is cheating/rule bending/gray area advantages that some racers are participating. Hell, that's part of it. I sell parts to help racers go faster and they often look to me to help them gain an advantage. All part of the game, it's in every form of competition.
I look for every bit of power and way to be faster, more consistent and better every week that rolls by. It's just the way I am I just wish I had a bigger budget to work with..
