And the penalties are???

What they are is BULL****!!!! Cody and Gary, my statement here is nothing personal and I have no beef with either of you, but your penalties piss me off and I’ll explain why! A few year ago, I was in both the national and divisional championship hunt! I had won second round of eliminations at a Lucas oil race (in division) and was getting ready to go up for round three, when here came the tech guys on the golf cart into my pit! They advised me that I could not legally run the class I was running with the car I was claiming. I was dq’d from the race, receiving THE SAME PUNISHMENT that these two received for using illegal parts for performance gains! Now I did make a mistake, that was correctable by changing the year of my car on my tech card. It was a mistake on my part because I got to the track late and was a little rushed to get up there for the first qualifying run. I would not have even tried to make that run but weather was threatening to disrupt the rest of the day, so I wanted that run. Had tech came over with that news after that run, I would have said, ok, let me fix my mistake, throw the run out and let’s move on! That DQ ended up costing me the division championship and a number 2 national finish.

My point being these two get the same punishment for using illegal parts for a performance gain as I did for claiming the wrong year car for the GT class I was running! (Rule changed this year making that mistake impossible). So you can see why this punishment downright offends me! Hell, it should give those who need the help the incentive to cheat! What’s the worst that can happen? A slap on the wrist apparently!!! And for a repeat offender at that!!
