Hell yes! I run higher compression and more displacement than I report [ 12 ] ** [15.19%]
Never! I'd only be cheating myself. [ 47 ] ** [59.49%]
I don't report things like lightened flywheel or slight compression improvements. Everyone cheats just a little. [ 5 ] ** [6.33%]
Sometimes I forget to report all modifications on my car [ 15 ] ** [18.99%]

Good book by famous all around driver Mark Donahue and ghost writerThe Unfair Advantage. Donahue was the 1st IROC champ. His racing credentials included everything from hill climbs to F1, even competed in stockcars. As an engineer he worked on and drove the Porsche 917. Gives you a good grasp of early motorsports and exploitation of "loopholes." There are reasons why the rules are so stringent.

What point do you draw the line between "cheating" and maximum preparation. When you build a car that takes every rule and lack of rule in to account and show up with said car and start whoopin' ass, people will protest. I have seen very few cars that do this, but I see plenty of slower people protesting these cars.

If you wanted to cheat up here you will get caught. I run my car up a class anyway. The people up here know everyones cars rather well, and if anything is done someone hears about it anyway.

Sure, if you farm out your mods. Your classing is pretty simple. My car screams MODIFIED....duh.
If someone asked me what them 2 lumps bolted to the passenger floor are, I'd prolly tell em' "SCCA reqiured footrests".(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Don't matter much, tho. The motor went South today.....no extra holes, but runs bad.
The season is over for us.

Sorry to hear that JP. Still would love to have you come up to one of the PCA events in Bremerton. You can codrive my car if you ever want to come.

I remember a Side Glances from a few years ago titled Fishing with Dynamite by Peter Egan. I have to say cheating a club level racing is just like cheating at golf. The guy or gal in the mirror knows the true score. If you are ok with that, then the point is REALLY moot!

Funny thing is that club racing has become fairly big business for some.

Nobody cares if you cheat unless you beat them or start finishing in the top 3.
So if you are a slow driver or your mods are ineffective at lowering your times, go ahead and cheat.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Why? Wouldn't that add insult to injury?

I don't cheat and I don't expect to win any races. I just plain stink, but it's fun. Hell, I was stupid enough to do some mods that jumped me up into classes that I will never see mid range. Shoulda stuck with stock but eh... what the hell. Fun, loud and kinda slow. But the loud part makes me think I'm going faster than I really am... ha ha ha
