We were tested at I-80 last year. Lucas does a pretty good job.

Thanks for the info. I am assuming then they will be able to run at Florence for the Lucas events.

Yes, Lucas series is not involved in any way except for their drivers being caught at another event.

Good to see they're looking for guys who cheat but agree that I don't buy that they're checking across the board until they suspend one of their own. I have no problem whatsoever inhaling dirt and dust that always gets kicked up but I do have a problem if there are chemicals in that dust. I would say each series better start paying attention to this problem before it really becomes a problem. These guys are not only cheating they are harming others. All series' better start being more proactive and enforcing this rule. They need to crack down now and put an end to it. 3 month suspension is laughable. A year would be better but if you suspend them for two years or life, it will stop immediately. Cant do that though. That would be too harsh and could make people upset. No responsibility anymore.

I like Bloomer a lot but if he is guilty he should be done. Way too many chances. I like all these 5 guys a lot but this is a bunch of BS. Grow a pair of balls Lucas/WoO and wake up. Do you want to put and end to it or just keep handing out suspensions all the time?

Id like to know the names of the drivers / teams that passed the test ....

Tire samples are usually a random deal. The samples are tested much like a go-no-go carb guage. The labs don't describe WHAT foreign chemicals are found, only that there ARE. A team can appeal, but THEY have to pay for a lab to test and IDENTIFY the particular chemical found. I doubt they would overturn the decision though. The rule says NO chemicals. That includes WD-40, Tide, Mr. Clean, PineSol, Crisco(yes we used to use it on the outer sidewalls), or any other stuff. Also, I seriously doubt ANY of the drivers had anything to do with juicing the tires, the crewchiefs would be the ones making the call.

This is my story and i'm sticking to it!

The UMP races, the World 100? Am I to understand these guys can't run in these events? What other events are they barred from? Thanks for any info.

All WoO events, Summer Nats, anything that WRG owns. You got the other 2 worth mentioning.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

best post so far! The bad thing is, their fans believe them when they say it.

I like how crow and you speak for all Bloomer fans, comical. I don't for a second think he didn't juice tires. Only one I have doubt about is Ricky Thornton Jr. The other 4 I'd go with guilty as charged.

And for crow, 6'2" 200, no tats, don't smoke.

We have dealt with this for too long now. It's time to start going to a spec tire, no grooving, no siping. Buy it at the track, install it and go race. Does this suck? YES, but its the only way to take care of this once and for all.

That sounds good in theory, but if tires are sold on a first come first serve basis, then the last guy in line gets screwed....everyone like to run certain amounts of stagger, and if you are the last in line to get tires, you would get stuck with what's left.....

Until a series, WoO or Lucas suspends a series regular, I won't buy into their way of enforcing the rules. Suspend one of your own and I'll believe you are being fair with all competitors. It's a joke.

yep a good long time out for the Driver and team owners and crew members can we say multiple years betcha bshep wishes he was back in his own ride

[davis2902]

LMAO! All the people on here so upset about this. Answer this, how many cars would be on the track if the entire rule book was really fully enforced?

They cheated, they new it, they got caught. Some have learned a lesson, some will never learn!

[TS FAN]

Wow...that shocks me. Stiff penalties, those 5 drivers won't be running the World 100. My first reaction is will these guys hold a grudge against WoO and Eldora when they are off of suspension. Will it hinder the car count at Eldora shows or will smaller teams feel like they get a fair shake there and more of them show up? Questions, questions, questions.

They might hold a grudge against Eldora, but not against the purse money and prestige of winning there holds. No worries

This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Let em run open tires OR make them buy them at the track the day of the race.....clearly the methods of selective enforcement being used arent working.
