49 deck height?

The droop rule is even being cheated, and it’s so blatantly obvious on how they’re doing it and Steve Francis won’t say a word. Lucas needs a new technical director and officials in general.

Yeah, but that's the problem with rules, you gotta enforce them and it's why sometimes it's better not to have them. Rules also encourage teams to find tricks to work around them and accomplish the same end. So, it becomes a never ending game. And those workarounds just become more creative and complex and often times more expensive.

Enforcement of the simple body rules was not a never ending game. We got here by allowing everything to go unchecked. When you allow a wedge car to be built, but attack angle a little off, of course getting the attack angle right is a benefit.

It's also amazing that the Jacked Up 49 seems to be in most every heat that decides who sits on the pole of any given race and 9 out of 10 times sits on the front row of the heat.....

No conspiracy there….he qualifies well, usually Top 2-4 in his group.

He’s got way too many friends in the sport to make any real difference. The sport needs a complete outsider that’s kind of an as*hole and not afraid to piss people off to actually enforce the rules to the letter.

I'm still trying to figure out where that idea came from.

I'm not going into details, but I did some changes to my car this weekend that will give me an extra but will still measure within the rules.

That's not cheating. It's just maximizing a stupid rule. There's a lot that can be done. Some pretty risk free and others that may create some new problems for you.

There’s a pic of it on the rocket1 twitter. It’s pretty obvious.

Ok, somebody get the pic up so we can make all the wild accusations.

I've given up on linking pictures. This site just barely works.

Maybe " The Kentucky Colonel " needs to be busted back down to " The Kentucky Corporal " ? ?
