      So you have an issue with dirt late model racing being drug free?

        Probably should. Just for the safety aspect.

          That has been the claim all along hasn't it?

          For the " safety" aspect of it,that's their claim for the tire rule also.......it's for their own good.

          Test them all if your going to do it, don't cherry pick.
          Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

              Maybe we should test the fans too. It could be a tragic situation if some fan who was on pot wandered onto the track or stumbled into a raised jack.

                Sounds like you would fail.

                  Beer is a Drug and I know some tracks that would close if you outlawed it.

                    Whats the average number of crew members that each race team brings to the track? At least 3-4 per team. Thats a lot of tests and a huge expense for somebody (Either track or sanctioning body). I think its a great idea and wish they would test all drivers / crew but thats wishful thinking. It wont ever financially be possible.

                      Good point Willardboy, your looking at a tremendous cost to test 3-4 guys from each crew.

                          This would require some sort of membership license for crew members and a list of all people who are with your car. What are your going to do with the lower divisions that are in the pits for that night activities or people not with a car who bought a pit pass. It serves no purpose to test crew members they are not the one driving a 2300lbs 900 Hp car.the rule is not to protect the driver it's to protect the other drivers on the track. Beside I doubt Randy Sweet would pass a drug test.

                            Exactly. There are way too many moving parts in this situation.
                            A guy from Iowa is racing in Kentucky for yhe weekend and asks his buddy from Ohio to give him a hand for yhe weekend. Stuff like that happens all time and it'd be impossible to police it using drug testing.
