Why Aren't the Drivers Also Suing the Tire Suppliers?

How many years do you have to file a lawsuit? Because if Bloomer wins this lawsuit then shouldn't Shannon Babb have a case when he was 10 lbs. light?

In America your innocent until proven guilty, "In A Court of Law". Comrade.

Not sure about statute of limitations, but Babb isn't a weasel that blames everyone else for his mistakes. It's called Moral fortitude, how you behave, stand up man, doing what's right ect. Babb may have lost that race because of 7 pounds, but everyone respects him and even has a certain amount of sympathy for him. When Feger got caught ith a illegal tire, he took the penalty and didn't sue. He was a stand up guy and people respect him for it. What is going to happen to these 5 that blame it on anyone else to weasel out? How is that public opinion, that they are so worried about, going to treat them?

Theyre trying to clear their name. I dont see BShepp and maybe Saterlee being cheaters. And itll be up to WRG and the others named in the suit to take legal action on Hoosier if it doesnt go their way. I still dont understand why those results are not out for the public to see

Dude! You can't ask for more than that from much smaller, precise force measurement systems.

DUDE!!!!....their scales were off almost 3%!

[calverton]

And you adjust your cars weight accordingly, every short track racer or any other form of racing knows that

Agree 100% but according to a guy that use to work for him he plays the weight game to close. He wants the car to be right on the weight limit all the time and makes the crew guys take lead off everytime he is a little bit over... If you have more cautions or track is fast and u burn extra fuel you shouldn't play it that close. No one else was light that day.

DUMBEST^^^^^^..so says the guy that a track paying over $300k, shouldn't have their scales checked and calibrated, which by the way is a STATE LAW!

OK, Perry Mason....we'll see what the court has to say. That pride will be hard to swallow!

You sound like Lite Inns twin brother!

There is little doubt that when they see his impeccable record and post endeavors of honesty, the courts will side with him.

The only thing there is a little doubt....is your lack of knowledge/experience of lawsuits. Stop being a hater and just look at the facts!

The info that is out there doesn't say what the reference mass was at various error readings. Unless you have unpublished info, you don't know that!

[calverton]

How did the other teams come legal then

[a25rjr]

The info that is out there doesn't say what the reference mass was at various error readings. Unless you have unpublished info, you don't know that!

The papers of the lawsuit said it was inspected by Ohio's Dept Of Ag. and stated that they were off 37-61lbs. Based on 2300lbs, that's 1.6%-2.6%. So according to your 1% rule, they are still wrong.
