The first race was when the first two cars met.
The first time someone cheated, Was the second time.

Wasn't there an issue in the 80's/90's, where the Late Model association said everyone had to run a tire that was stamped 13", and one of the tire manufacturers started making a 14" tire with a 13" stamp?
It seems that drama just follows the LM guys around. |

Not to promote cheating, mind you, for it has always gone on and always will, but when the sanctioning body starts lowering the boom on guys like Bloomquist and Jimmy Owens, one has to start thinking that this could backfire in their faces. Teams check/police each other for the most part and a hush-hush "agreement" is always there, such as traction control in sprints. Bloomquist and Owens could fire a volley back and everything might go sideways. Sometimes, a behind the scenes agreement with the offenders and the rest of the racers might work a little better to prevent dime dropping. This isn't a NASCAR-type penalty wherein you sit down a crew chief for a few races. These guys are sitting down the heavy hitting drivers. These are the equivalent of Jimmie Johnsons and Kevin Harvicks, not Carl Long, as NASCAR so heavily threw a book at years ago. Just an opinion, of course. Watch out what you do. You might get way more than you expect out of it. |

Hell the reason Napcar has Templates to begin with, I someone built a car three quarter scale, went out and whooped the field and nobody noticed until after the race.
