Cheaters

[Adam in CO]

No wonder civilized people can't stand stock car racing.

I love it!!! They've been sneaking stuff on and off stock cars since it's inception. Besides, it's not cheating if you don't get caught.

Consider:

The governing rules of the NCAA alone fill up entire file cabinets in the hallways of every college athletic department.


Not so in NASCAR. The 2005 edition of the NASCAR Winston Cup rulebook is only 96 pages long - 86 if you throw out the table of contents and the blank "notes" pages - and not much wider or longer than a checkbook. The fact that every roll bar, rear view mirror, and rocker arm is covered within such a small amount of type means one thing... a lot of room for, ahem, "interpretation".

I am glad the teams try to adjust their cars outside of the regs. It makes things interesting. Hey if you ain't cheatin you aint tryin.

If Tony Stewart lost some weight would that be considered cheating? He might have made the top 10 last season if he'd lay off the pizza and Coke's. In the old day I heard they used to fill the frame rails with fuel to get those extra laps at the end...

Yep, they even regulat the length of the fuel filler tube so you can't use an extra long one.
