    To pay someone to do a test for you and you aren't real sure it's 100 % foolproof and accurate is lunacy.

    They need to be more sure , one way or the other........and the back room hand shake good old boy politics of racing just doesn't cut it anymore.

    I'm thrilled they are doing something different and at the very least ,listening and entertaining new ideas to shore this thing up.

    So far, great racing has been the by product.
    I don't disagree 100%, but I'm a little reluctant to think that making things more bulletproof, so to say, will make it better. Look what the thicker, more defining rulebook has done for NASCAR competition and the cost to compete. The racing just plain sucks and 3-4 owners dominate the series.

      true enough......I just don't see all of us letting it get to that"NASCAR" point.

      And by that I mean, with our wallets......and our time.
      Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

        I have never been to a track with it's own scales, that we did not check our cars weight on the track scales before the race. So we knew if the track scales and our scales varied. We have added weight before...taken some out at times. But to me it is on the team to make sure where they stand. Just my 2 cents

            OK, I'll be optimistic and go along with that. So, what do you think the answer is with the tire doping rules and enforcement?

            Personally, after months of thinking about it, I think that IF we are going to demand a 100% transparent tire testing process, maybe all the series' should just do what the Lucas series seems to be doing and just turn a blind eye to it. After all, the doping doesn't guarantee a better finish, right?

              According to the experts, all of jimmys and Scott's wins are invalid because of doping......so I may have to disagree with you on guarantee of a better finish thingy.

              Just look at all the wins those two tire cheaters have amassed.....lol

              I have some ideas, but probably better discussed over a cheeseburger and a beer instead of this hornets nest of Internet bad intention.

                Could well be a personal conflict more than anything else. Innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.
