So, the sales pitch is that a company is going to profit by putting their logo on the shirts of tech guys that are hired specifically to go after racers that are anonymously accused of cheating? That sounds very promising!

If cars are so obviously wrong and you feel it is ruining class racing, how about pointing out the errors to the racer first? They may not even realize that their car is wrong. If they don't fix things, protest them. The original post doesn't sound like this would even require a tear down. I don't see things that are so obviously wrong taking a lot of time to police. What am I missing?

So what should happen when the class has been refactored by 100hp by people running illegal stuff? I'll tell you what happens... we end up with the same parts prohibited by the rulebook and passed through tech that everyone else runs so we can run competitively. Do they go back to the original factoring and stop the massaging or keep it as is and overlook the obvious?

Putting logos on shirts of guys that are there to enforce the rules that NHRA puts in the rulebook, like they did years ago, to make a fair playing field for all competitors. That's why we race S/SS. If not, just build bracket cars, it would be whole lot less $$$. The only ones that wouldn't support it would be the cheaters. Why have rules and classes if not enforced? Like I said before it wouldn't be a huge amount $$$ compared to other sponsorships and business owners know you sponsor what you like to support and realize that advertising is an expense of doing business. Ever since my family took me to my first S/SS race in 1969 as a kid I fell love with these classes and it's amazing after over 50 years they still exist and still have a very strong following. Why let the lack of enforcing the rules dilute and ruin such a good thing. Just my $.02
