What Do You Think About This?

The illegal carb thing is Wrong! As a Div 6 H/SA competitor I was not in Medford, if I was I would be PISSED! That being said I have met Chris and I think he is a great guy, he and his team are always out to have fun. Those out here in the 6 have seen me trying and fighting with my car getting it to run, sometimes it works ,sometimes not, and sometimes it breaks. In all of that my thought process has never been to use illegal parts. I was at the Seattle divisional when the team mentioned was punted and i feel the same then as I do now...WHY? Running under index knowing your car is legit is almost euphoric ,as it is something not everyone can do, almost as good as winning an event. At the very least he admittted the wrong doing but at the end of the day is the price worth it? Respect of the fellow racers isnt easily gotten but easily lost, the tech dept. will bring out the microscope (hopefully) and the outcome of an important race was changed.

Swapping stuff at a T&T is one thing. Doing it at a points meet qualifying day isn't. It affected the ladder and pairings.I guess he just didn't think of that.What makes me wonder how that man thinks is why he published photos and put that story on the Internet.What he needs to probably do is take that legal carb and give it and the proper money to one of the carb guys out there that would make it fast and legal- Clark Holroyd, Dean Oliver,Val Hedworth,etc,although if I were them,I might not want their business.
