WELSHAN TOPS A-1 TOWING VICTORY LANE with T.K.O at CLEVELAND

Cleveland, TN (6/2/12) --- Saturday night the Cleveland Speedway welcomed the new A-1 Towing / Outlaw Racing Graphics to its racing family and it seemed like a fresh new face would rally into victory lane. Booger Brooks, the leading Rookie of the Year continder seemed to have the GREEN-MACHINE number, keeping Jason Welshan of Maryville, Tennessee at-bay. Booger took the checkers, but refused the Hidden Hollow Motorsports pro-test and was subsequentially disqualified. The #29 "B&M Concrete, Competition Racing Equipment, Ronald Sexton Construction, Centerline Construction, Bearden Oil, Hicks & Law Insurance, Jon's Golfcarts, Smith's Auto Repair, Schenfeld Headers, Stealth Racing Carburators, Outlaw Graphix" sponsored MasterSbilt / Bill Bunch powered Cindy & Roger Kerr, Gary Rofle owned raceteam now has eleven wins. "That boys got a ton of talent..." stated Welshan after the race about Booger. "We talked and I told him I just wanna keep everyone honest" regarding the protest. "It's nothing personal against him nor anyone else that beats us... I just wanna be sure they're all legal." The team is scheduled this Tuesday night for the Tennessee RV special at the Crossville (TN) Raceway on the Cumberland Plateau, paying $1,200 to-WIN. Fans wishing to follow the team, can look up Jason Welshan Racing on the social media web-site FACEBOOK and send him a friends request.

I don't understand why anyone with Boogers talent wouldn't want to run legal.... I think he is good enough... build it legal boy, you Can do it ! Deek

[Chico]

so you get outrun once and you protest?and call it keeping everyone honest I call it buying a win Boy that says a lot imo Way to go Booger

[Itsinmyblood]

I think booger is a great driver and I love watching him race when he does it clean. But no matter what reason for them protesting if you were legal then it wouldnt matter. But while talking about that has Jason ever been protested? Cause when my uncle use to run around here many years ago everyone cheated somehow or someway. lol

[ga racer]

are you saying you should not be protested if its your first win? wtg 29

[Chico]

No I'm saying protest are BS DO a pre tech go or no go and do away with this BS no ones going to take a chance on ruining a motor by taking it down and the chance something may happen The protest doesn't pay for parts much less Time and labo I raced over 40myrs and never protested all my wins were won on the track This is just my opinion and I know we all differ but I still say Good Job Booger

[thinker]

Chico are you saying you never won a race legal? Then you must be ok with people stealing anything from you.

[Chico]

You better do a lil more thinking I never said I condoned cheating and I pushed every rule as far as I could I said I felt there should be a pre tech and if you pass you race and if not out it on the trailer this used to be quite common saves a lot of problems imo And the cars were parked in an area where no one fool them So no Thinker I didn't cheat I would have won a lot more had I

[ga racer]

thats the dumbest thing i ever heard , a go or no go rule, what are they gonna do tear them down before they race? the problem is he was cheating and got caught , its no different winning b hobby in a slm , cheating is cheating, and just when and where did you win races for 40 yrs? guys have tore there engines down for ever right there in the pits so dont act like it would just ruin a engine to do that, if he wants to cheat then keep on cheating the boys i the hobby class cause that sh/t dont work to well when you move up.

[thinker]

I wondered how you can tech the inside of a motor before tbe race. It didnot deserve a comment.

thats the dumbest thing i ever heard , a go or no go rule, what are they gonna do tear them down before they race? the problem is he was cheating and got caught , its no different winning b hobby in a slm , cheating is cheating, and just when and where did you win races for 40 yrs? guys have tore there engines down for ever right there in the pits so dont act like it would just ruin a engine to do that, if he wants to cheat then keep on cheating the boys i the hobby class cause that sh/t dont work to well when you move up.

there is no proof he was cheating.

[ga racer]

he didnt tear down so yes he was cheating, if not he would have got 1600 bucks and went to the house. cheaters dont always win but they have a really good shot at it until the protest comes along.

[perfconn]

Protests are a part of the sport.If you have rules of any kind then you have to allow protesting.I have protested cars and lost my money but I have also been protested and took their money.Getting protested is a badge of honor.All they are saying is "I run good but you were better than me" The big problem with protesting is the track having a techman that knows what he is doing.

[Chico]

I guess I was kinda vague what I was trying to say is let the track check them and not an individual Yes even I am smart enough to know you can't see inside a motor I agree Perfconn I just said I don;t agree with protesting and I also said That diff people had diff ideas about it I always liked a sealed motor rule even then you can get cheating but not as much We built our motors or had them built and track tech would come by and put a seal on them Of course we didn't have as many tracks so we didn't have as many options either And as far a dumb Opinions are just that opinions Take it or leave it and insofar as teching the inside of a motor yes it can be done if you have the formulas and the tools to do it It;s pretty effective if you know what you're doing But anyway as I've said repeatedly This JUST MY OPINION No one elses I don't know Booger or any of the Brooks or Jason other than seeing them drive so there's no favoritism on my part jmo

[thinker]

Ok Chico I understand your thoughts about seals. At one time I would have agreed. In today's technology seals don't work. I can buy asphall seals for a crate for $4.00 a piece.
