Did you get caught and what happened?

Man, after reading some of the deliberate attempts to fudge the rules regarding weight and things, makes me wonder about some people.At least my problem 12 years back was an honest accident. The issues regarding weight are interesting,because it was an effort by some to make the car weigh correctly, just not all of it contained by the weight box as per rules. I heard of a lead shot bag that escaped during a run spilling lead shot about 500 feet out. It wasn't hardly visible to the naked eye on the asphalt of the track surface, but the alcohol funny cars next out sure found it. Lots of them went up in smoke at the 500 foot mark, and a few almost climbed the wall until they stopped the session, checked the track and found it. Sounds like all kinds of no fun.
