Default Re: Protests

Not the same classes, but retribution is not new.

One year at Indy, one Pro Stock team protested another. My memory is hazy enough to not remember what was being protested but have a strong impression it involved Yates and Morgan.

I think Yates was the original, and then Morgan immediately protested him. He was not hiding anything, and was telling anyone who would listen that if his guys were going to be up all night, so was the other team. He picked an area at random to have checked.

Both cars passed and I never saw this again. I don't know if there were any behind the scenes action by Glendora, but for whatever reason it was a one time deal.


That aside, there have some very good suggstions already made and I agree with all of them. The protest procedure is needed and important, but first, the present rules should be followed; and second, an obvious attempt to affect another team's ability to race should not be taken lightly and those who do it for spite should face consequences.
