I’m not calling you a hater. My statement was in response to your statement in a previous post that you said “some people just want to love USAC “ You can put me in that category. You can also put some in the USAC hate category. Either way all I care about is the truth. If my favorite racing club is lying and cheating, I would like to know and I will decide what to do about it from that point as far as my fandom is concerned. Right now lots of folks are saying guilty without sighting exact proof. USAC has invited owners to come see their argument. Let’s see what they say. I will say one thing I would like to see is a Flo racing camera there to record their presentation of their evidence.
I agree to a lot of this. I just lean towards the side of questioning it over just buying what they are selling is all. Not because I dislike usac but because well before this they was prepping going on. A lot of which was never found. I also know that preppers have evolved. Some of which even claim their stuff can’t be caught. For many years now prep has been undetectable by scent. To think these basically chemist can create something that won’t show up or won’t pass the benchmark time silly. This is literally how kart racing nose dived. Prep was introduced they found it hard to regulate, decided to allow prep and cost sky rocketed. I’d hate to see a similar fate to my favorite form of racing. But this decision is leading down that road. They are flirting in a grey area. For a sanctioning body that can’t happen. As for the meeting most of us will likely never know what will go on during it. People are blowing off the fact that a handful of cars are choosing not to race with usac. In reality how many teams competed in the entire series last year? 10-15? That number is honestly terrifying. Especially considering we lost 2 more full time guys to wings. I want the sport to succeed. No matter how you shake this is a black eye for the style racing I like the most. And it’s being handled even worse. Many series will literally drop the test results, letter head and all. The fact this is such a huge ordeal and that usac is allowing it to continue without dropping actual facts onto the situation(like lab results, what labs, what drivers, how many different samples were used, when were they acquired, how did they suddenly get such quick turn around on the lab results, who was this “tire expert” they used) is just painting an easy avoidable muddy picture that they refuse to answer for.
