Ballou thinks everyone should mount their weight up high in center of car.

I have no idea if the teams cheated or not as I wasn't there to see it. I'm not a member of the "I read it on the internet so it must be true" crowd.

If they failed in tech after hot laps and weight was moved to correct location before time trails then it shouldn't be too severe of a penalty. If car was used in competition with weight mounted front of axle then the penalty should be loss of points and purse for that race night. Paid show up points and money only.

See how easy that was to take the drama and conspiracy away?

I was thinking the same thing, keep the front end down so the car can make the turns on the tight little tracks. Maybe next time they can fill the front bumpers with lead, it might not be as noticeable. I wonder if the illegal weights were used at Kutztown in PA

1) USAC is in the entertainment business.
2) Mr. Ballou is an entertainer.
3) We have been entertained.
4) Next question.

Was someone cheating? There’s the question. Valid in any business except, well you know

Back in the day at Ascot we used to have a 15lbs and a 25lbs weights that we used to mount under the front torsion tubes for that exact reason.

soaking tires, traction control, (allegedly) weights in from of axle, hell, just strap on a wing and go racing....no consequences, right???

Look at you being all sensible and stuff. Who would have guessed.

Perhaps remove the term "cheating". Whether it violated the rule purposely or was done due to lack of knowledge or human error the rule should be enforced.

Seems that USAC could have responded by now, one way or another, and clear things up. (maybe they have) But, it seems that whenever there is a matter of days between issues and USAC responses, the slow response time gives people too much time to dwell on it and throw fuel on the fire. USAC usually gets a black eye out of the deal, deservedly or not. Whatever, the racing was great Sat. night.

I noticed the photo of the 69 car was not from Macon.
