Initially skeptical I studied tires for a long time and was able to determine what I had been told was true. Based on that AND many conversations that I will not share with whom, I know who has. I also know who has prepped tires for some names people wouldn’t expect. One other fact I would add is usac does NOT test the top three every night. In regards to the timing of test results the florida results been known for some time now, but only crickets are heard. All anyone wants is a level playing field and a consistent application of the rules, and I am in that camp.
But do you have proof from Ocala? If so, you could probably file a lawsuit. Since you tend to use a message board to wage your battle, I wonder if it is not just sour grapes. I know that when I helped my buddy with a kart, everyone cheated, even us. I don't think it would be smart for a sanctioning body to overlook failed tests. In the long run that would have a very negative effect on their product as far as attracting cars and dates. After all in every series the tracks pay the purses. I take it you were guilty of the infraction as you have never offered to explain your innocence, only to slander the people who caught you.
I got pulled over one time, told the cop I was only running with traffic, everyone was speeding. He said maybe, but I pulled over you. He was right, and I paid the fine.
I have not seen either of the 2 teams that were penalized last week complaining that everyone else was doing and making accusations about the sanctioning body on social media. If they have, I haven't seen it. I hope they don't it. Just makes things worse for them.
