Knowing by your moniker that you must be a very experiened car owner and driver of sprint cars, one would have to ask.....don't you find it odd that a few guys would "cheat" in such an obvious way and not event try to hide it.....My humble opinion is that most racers know the general jist of the rulebook but not every detail of it......I have owned 358, 360, & 410 sprint cars that ran in a lot of different divisions and organizations, and I can say that I honestly do not know every rule in the book.........but if I'm caught outside the rules, however, that is no excuse....BTW, the opinion of folks too cowardly to post their real name is really meaningless to us reral racers 
Well done Gene, you side stepped the question of who the 6 or 7 others were that were cheating along with your driver by wondering what my name is. You opened your mouth and didn’t back it up. Everyone in the game knows the rules. If you didn’t you wouldn’t put a car out there. Next you want to make this all about Usac. They are inept at best. If another driver questioned whether they could cheat like your driver and was told no, then we again have two large problems. Your team cheated and the sanction colluded with your team.
I could care less how many teams and series you have competed with. You have demonstrated in the past an ability to help out teams in need. I commend you for that. I’m close to someone personally who you were helpful to in a time of need. That said this discussion shows me that as long as things are roses for you all is good. You are the one who said 1/3 of the field was cheating but aside from your driver and Moles have not announced the rest.
I am a Yeley fan. I’m also a fan of others and have contributed $ to teams that compete. This is not a pissing contest. I’ll bet your dog is bigger than mine. We all know there is a plenitude of issues with the group in Speedway IN. The team you provide engines to was caught outside the rules. You decided to come on here and push blame.
This is a public message forum to discuss issues related to racing. Most on here are fans, some tied to teams, and some part of associations governing the sport. No one is less important than the other as if we all didn’t exist this sport wouldn’t exist.
