Penalties For Tire Tampering- REVOLUTION Super Late Model Series
Policing tires are going to be the backbone of this series.
Make no mistake, we are very serious about tire tampering and this series will only be as good as its teching.
Racers, since this is YOUR series, what are appropriate penalties for tire rules infractions?
Thanks,

3 race suspension for driver & car owner, loss of pts & money, & most importantly let everyone know what exactly infraction was per rule....... Puplic humiliation can sometimes be the most severe penalty among your peers & fans.
Lose all money from the event, all points money, and pay a fine (to be added to the points fund) equal to the first place winnings of the event you cheated in once the 1 year suspension is up if they want to race the series again.
1st offense = 1 year suspension
2nd offense = lifetime ban
If you can, get all your supporting tracks to honor the suspension at their regular shows and other special events too.
Not only will this save racers thousands in tire bills, but the spec tire rule will also allow the underfunded teams a real opportunity to be competitive in the series.

The ONLY way to police tire prep is by taking lab samples. The sniffer and the durometer are extremely beatable.
If you wanna do it right, take samples from the winner, the pole sitter, and 1 name drawn out of a hat to take a sample after qualifying, and one random sample after the race.
Some of these penalties mentioned above are too sever for a regional series. I would say, just a random sample each night after the A main. If it comes back positive, that car is dq'ed for the night and put on probation for 1 yr. Good luck with your new series.
