Racers using this device were easy to spot since they had to match and watch their tach when crossing the win line instead of watching their opposition. All I`m saying is that it`s hard to forgive any of those racer taking money out of the honest racers who weren`t cheating(this is not like someone trying to find an extra hp), kind of losing the gold medal and finishing second to drug runner as we had to deal many years ago in Canada. I`m not saying that your friend cheated, just that you can`t never trust him because no defence was ever put forward on his behalf. Please enlighten me and I`ll be the first to shut the hell up. This story was well explained to me by a great former editor of a racing magazine many years ago who investigated the subject thoroughly. Glad to see that you are a great friend and you`re proving it by sticking up for him but the past is relevant to the future. Claude Ruel

So cheating to "find" extra horsepower is different than cheating to get to the finish line? Cheating is cheating, whether its against your spouse, not claiming cash income, taking paper clips from your employer or cheating in drag racing. Because no one offers a defense doesn't make a person guilty either. I'm not siding for or against Connelly and the others, I just find the assumption of his guilt to be irrational.
I read something the other day that stuck with me and applies to this situation. "Go ahead. Judge me. Just remember to be perfect the rest of your life."
