What Do You Think About This?

Also, as others have said, it effects the ladder. What about other racers in the same class? They have worked for years on their combo and these guys just bolt on a carb and are running with them. What if they would have beat one of these other cars heads-up?

I was scheduled to run them in the third round. Nobody likes a narc, but there was no way I was going to let them race against me if we did meet. Either they don't show up or I'm going to the tech director. I still had a chance to win the Division title and good chance to get into the top ten at that point. If they were already say a tenth under the index and they did something illegal to pick it up a few tenths I wouldn't really have a problem with that, but they were more than a second over the index before they put the other carb on. They had no business winning any rounds.

The person who loaned them the carb had no idea they were going to use it in qualifying. He was told they wanted to use it to see if they could get it to rev up above 5000 RPM.

On Saturday night the carb owner called them and told them they shouldn't run the carb because they have already changed the ladder and there are people here trying to gain points to move up in the standings or even win a championship. It's not fair to them.

The carb owner told me when they showed up on Sunday they were going to run the carb in eliminations. The carb owner told them no you're not. You can either put the legal carb back on and dial the index or pack up and leave. They decided to leave.

i wonder if the idiot even knows what he did? i agree it is very disrespectful to the class. I also had a feeling those were the type of details we were going to hear. We don't need assholes like him class racing. Of course on the flip side I'm shocked that the bracket racers in here haven't taken up for him yet "what's the big deal, its just a bracket race..............we can add those clowns to the list of those who need to bring gaskets
