I'll give you an example, a few years back a friend of mine was proudly showing me his cylinder heads that he'd payed big bucks to have done by a "professional". The crossover passages were filled right into the port and the area had been nicely blended in to look like the crossover never existed. Legal? Not if you read the rulebook but I know some racers that never do. Deliberately cheating, probably not.

As far as my Pacer goes, if you want to see inside the engine I'll tear it apart just for you any time you want.

Billy you're 100% correct, there will always be gray areas, I just think if the racers knew there was more of chance of getting looked at, it might tighten up the ones that might stray from the rules. And while they're being looked at, it gives the other racers time and opportunity to help keep people within the rules. I remember being torn at Indy and my competitor, who I had beaten followed my every move thru tear down and darn near inspected every part. Travis even asked me if I was okay letting him do that, I said sure, I got nothing to hide, but it sure makes you think twice about doing something outside the rules when one of your competitors looks at your stuff.
