As far as I know the penalty for getting caught with the wrong carb is only a DQ from that race. There is no suspension. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Bolting on a bigger carb is probably the easiest way to cheat. I think it should deserve more than a one race suspension.

I think this happens WAY more often than people think. I would like to see hoods opened for some sort of inspection after time runs at divisional events. Check a carb, pull a valve cover, check for aluminum driveshafts, etc. I'd bet you would see quite a few cars slow down. As this thread points out, it usually the cars at the bottom of the ladder that cheat more than the guys at the top!
