Jayski's page is titled "News and Rumors" Anyone who passes on anything they read there as fact is irresponsible. |

So what if they try to push the envelope? There's just way too much interest in punishing the bad boys and not enough focus on racing. Hell, not a lap can go by these days, not a day of pre-race activities can go by without some sort of rules infraction and some follow-up punishment. If the car is found to be illegal after the race, then fine - disqualify the car. Take the purse away and you'll influence behaviors. But in practice, Mike, I don't think it would work. You'd see massively borderline cars (this just over the line, that just a bit out of spec, ...) coming to pre-Q/race inspection and letting nascar tell them what to change then having to change it and going back through, with more borderline stuff ... inspections would go on forever. I agree with your theory, but that's just my guess on how it would work in reality. Now, if they said you get one chance to fix it and if you don't PASS the second time you go home ... they'd be less likely to throw too many oddball things at the room of doom staff. but nascar doesn't want to send someone home, 'specially a star, with a zillion of that star's hats and tees sitting in the stands. You know, if that would be the case and say the 8 car came through for round 2 and there was something wrong, they wouldn't say anything, let him race them flunk him on post race inspection. |

Hope u distinguish between the very few words Jayski writes
and the many words other writers write.
As for me, just label me a Cut-n-Paster
And Nancy--what kind of woman are u that doesn't enjoy a good rumor?

particularly the stuff from unnamed sources. Other stuff he has is clearly
news, as it is reprinted from credible sources.

order to get it race legal. Want to take your chances on borderline? Fine

we've bantered about here, but certainly with less of this failed this,
failed that stuff.

the car and it's race legal. They're trying to cover too many bases with
all of the inspections and rules now.
