I agree Doug. I was just making the point that if you are going to tear down a motor, sealed or not, it should not matter how much the person is liked or disliked or if he has big sponsors and money. It should be equal like the class is intended.

The biggest problems seem to be in the Jr. programs. People think that if their kid gets beat someone was cheating. Or the comments are ” if I had as much money as his Dad my son would kick his ass “. People don’t see how much work goes into putting together a top notch race team. We don’t call our engine builder if we are 3 tenths off the guy that beat us that weekend. We just work harder testing. We spend 5 times the money on tires every year than we do updating our engine program.

Alex and Scott Speed are the example. How can you beat a team every weekend when we have jobs and they test 5 days per week. Like when Scott dominated karting. I guess Swedetech is now building cheater engines for Renault and F1. That is why Scott does so well.

I have said it in the past and continue to say ” if you get beat by my driver and think it is the engine come buy it.” Everything we have is for sale.

By the way. I think the 5 guys that beat me at IMI a few weeks ago ALL had cheater motors. It couldn’t be that I am fat and out of shape and drive once every 6 months. I swear they are cheating.
