is that the guy that got caught cheating?
Define "cheating"
i can't remember the details. he had added weight to his car somehow and got caught.
Issues regarding added weight have numbered in the thousands on the local level. Sometimes, you can add weight and still be legal, but the percentage of weight moved around can exceed maximum allowable moveable weight. I recall something having to do with weight and I would think left side weight and rub rails. I know who I could ask that would remember since he was chief tech at the time. If I remember correctly, it wad an issue that was overlooked by A number of track reckon people and a great number of drivers were utilizing a method that was technically illegal, but such a petty thing. Somebody got a red ass and said something and that loophole was closed the following year. This may be what you are thinking of, but it may not even be the right driver. As I said, weight infractions or allegations of such happen all the time.
No. It was Pauch. And it was at New Egypt. And it wasn't some technicality. It was some kind of a rail that was mounted to his car and when they made him remove it, it was full of lead shot to add weight. It wasn't just some kind of "oops" thing. Other drivers had been complaining of that rail for a long time before they finally got them to remove it.

it was a bar disguised to look like some type of fender protection and it was filled with lead shot. You don't see that as a blatant rule violation? You are talking about a driver that knows every single spec of anything on his car and he has a bar filled with lead shot that he is unaware of the lead shot inside it?

What's your point Cleave?
My point is that it wasn't a common oversight nor was it a "no big deal" oversight. The oversight was the fact that it was a bar and it was protruding from an area that wasn't supposed to have one. That's what he laughed off for months as other drivers complained. No one was prepared for the fact that it was filled with lead shot to add weight to his car and give him a racing advantage. That's the point.

Sounds like he was violating the other driver's civil rights.

Steve-O and Iron Mike are the duo I didn't know I needed.
