I've had a few messages over the last couple days basically asking "so you think this ok and we shouldn't be suspending or fining people?" Well yes and no lol
I don't think it's ok but do we want to do financial harm to someone when there is so little for us in return?
I mean let's face it we're not running for squat and class means nothing financially. But it is a class Wally and this time the right person/car ended up with it in the end.
My personal opinion says he already lost $330 entry fee so how much more would you want to see?

The $330 is only the tip of the iceberg - start with towing costs / tolls along with several days at a motel plus food everyday ( would you want to buy groceries for Bubba ??? ) throw in some gaskets and race gas plus that awful stuff he chews and I'll bet the cost is up over a grand . That already is a stiff punishment . And like you said the right racer got the wally.

On the other hand I spent that much ( or more ) and didn't get a wally .

One last thing - there were three other racers in tear down and not much said about them.Hmmmmm..............

Don't see much relevance in that as anyone could change head gaskets after the fact. If there was say an overbore on the block then I would say there might be an issue as far as the engine builder. Like I said before you race the car you are the one responsible for what's in the car.
