It is Bull ....But the next time it may be Bloomer and he will have to take the lie detector testing or that maybe a forfeit of the win???

This morning was the first I'd heard of the lie detector test. Have to admit, I thought it was a joke at first. Then I just chuckled and reminded myself that it was the late models. They've been trying to enforce tire rules for what seems like eons now. People don't talk about who sets fast time at the North/South, they talk about whose tires were impounded in the infield in front of God and everybody. All the ruckus about "tiregate" at Golden Isles a few years ago has outlasted the track. It's gotten to the point where if someone is having an unexpectedly good night, well then they "musta soaked their tars". As serious as the allegations (and health ramifications) can be, listening to the keyboard commandos go at it can be entertaining. Part of me thinks that WoO dragged this out as long as they did just to ramp up hits on their site, especially considering it involved drivers who aren't even regulars on their tour. The lie detector test, though, is the *** moment of the week so far...

I thought it was a joke as well. I guess since a small potatoes $30,000 to win late model purse is nearly unheard of in non-wing, it would be hard to understand! Before you jump down my socialist Canadian throat, I'm just giving you guys a hard time! I think the polygraph is stupid, apparently it's used in Bassmaster's and body building competitions as well. Smells too much like wrestling tabloid TV and entertainment then racing. I'd say protesting tires is totally fine.
The race was at Lernerville, PA.

I'm a-ok with protesting if you think someone cheated to beat you. If you're protesting just to raise a stink or because of sour grapes, then beans on ya.
