Everyone goes a little "extra" to get an advantage but this is blatant in your face cheating.
1320, you would be the first one screaming if you where in the other lane. |

This right here is the reason you don't cheat. You get caught, your past and present will be tarnished, forever.
The Stanfields had everything to lose and very little to gain. Greg's world championships and everything that family has done up until this point is questionable. Its not a question of if they cheated, merely a how. And I don't want to hear NHRA's fault as the rule didnt state diameter, just number of teeth. Its not like they didn't know what they were doing was illegal. Blatant cheating Rest In Peace Howard Stanfield, I'm sure after this your lying face down. Tarnishing the Stanfield name for history. Very sad |

Re: Fine them and then make it legal. Wowwser
While I applaud the tech dept for finally doing SOMETHING. I am disappointed in the decision for some simple fines and some points.
They were allowed to fix the issue and continue with the event (my impression of the releases on NHRA race). If this were any common sportsman racer and not associated with a name in sportsman racing, the outcome would be different. Last year, a D7 sportsman racer at Dallas won first round of the Allstars at Dallas and was DQed for a wheelbase infraction. Why wasn?t this racer allowed to ?correct the issue?? |
Re: Fine them and then make it legal. Wowwser
The comments about the pulley having the right number of teeth but a different diameter doesn?t make sense because you have to have a certain pitch between teeth to match the pitch of the belt. So if the jackshaft pulley had 32 teeth, and the blower had 32 ( I don?t even know if that was spec at the time, just an example) and you made the jack shaft pulley larger diameter you would need a different pitch belt. And then you also need to make the blower pulley the same diameter to match the pitch of the belt. So nothing at all gained?
