Default Re: Has Jeff or Cody Lane been caught for cheating at a NHRA

I can't help but think about where NHRA might be today, if they would have actually enforced the rules, years and years ago. A Super Stock car, for example, probably wouldn't cost $150,000 to build, because crazy-expensive, formerly blatantly illegal stuff would have been squashed, and the cheater punished.
I was told not long after the head porting rule went into effect that there were so many bogus heads NHRA didn't want to throw any more "resources" at the problem and decided to take the easier route. And then they stopped checking entire cars for other illegal modifications (heavy roofs, rear quarters, filled cages, acid dipped doors fenders etc.) except when enough people bitched about certain cars. Seems it all got out of hand during the mid to late 80s.
