This is about a teardown that didn't happen. 73-74 working tech with John Biedenkapp at the Blaney Points meet. Back then you couldn't race on Sunday so this was a one day deal and back then you ran Stock thru TF at points meets. Busy long day. Usually we just tore down winners because of how late the race went. I think it was Ronnie Traffenstedt asked me if we were going to tear down the RU and I said no. He said the other car in the final who I won't name was cheating so we went and talked to John and he asked how Ronnie knew he was cheating and he said he was catching the other cars and riding. Ronnie said he would prove it. He was going to leave in 3rd in his, I think SS/P Chevelle, and the other car would not pass him. Sure enough the Chevelle left in 3rd, back to 2nd or 1st but the other car never went around him. When they got to the scales John told them both to pull a head. The unnamed racer was not happy. They both went back to the pits and Ronnie tore down but the other car kept arguing. Jonh sent me to find Buster and Buster told him he would get a year off if he didn't tear down. He loaded up and left. He got his vacation.
