Yes there was another way of taking it I was being feciscious . I apologise if you took it the wrong way. Unlike you I have always admired cheaters at least the smart ones . I am not talking about some dope that pays way too much for an illegal carb that Stevie Wonder could see is illegal and has to put it on the trailer rather then go to the tech shed or runs his car a 150 lbs light (like at Sunset Saturday night) and is busted as soon as he hits the scale , I mean the smart ones. Something to think about in racing the lower the class and the more restrictive the rules the more cheating you will find , its just the way it is .
If you really want to cheat with tech being the way it is now concentrate on the rotating assembly crank , rods , pistons . I also see allot of room in ignitions / computers and EFI systems. I see very little teching in the fuel department but stay under 5 % with nitro methane or toluene etc . I am very disappointed in the amount of tire soaking going on . With a DOT tire you can gain a bunch this way but don't be stupid and use petroleum based products since they contain oil and just degrade the rubber and make them slippery . Soaking only has a short term benefit maybe 10 laps or so but it might let you get around the guys you need to pass early .
Your point is well taken Yorkie,but l think you are barking up the wrong tree.
Now thats funny.
Yorkie I was not calling you a dog I was responding to your comment on people use of screen names since you also use one . People use them for a variety of reasons some personal and some business. As far as being a tech I have been asked but I wouldn't do it under any circumstance. It is a thankless job it always ends up being political and all the good ones either get fired or quit.
Speaking of Techs getting fired or quiting anyone know why Joe was canned ?
Well I have heard two different opinions.....One was that he was too close to some of the drivers, but imo it doesn't matter cause on tech lane he was the same tech with everyone concerned (ala anna milligan) he is friends witht he milligans, but she still got DQ'd....some of us are thinking that Joe wants to start pulling pans...and if the burrows boys or other front runners get their pans all pulled then there will be either A. very few cars left at BSW or B. the points race would be blown to hell....
I don;t know what one of these is true, but i do know that Joe is a great guy and good tech and didn't deserve to be treated this way.
My Dad was given 2 VERY DIFFERENT reasons and both of them are pretty stupid...
1. He was told by St. Onge that it was because he knew too many drivers/talked to too many drivers
2. then, when he was giving in the shirt at the end of the night Brad Moran told him it was becuase he was working on his own racecar at home...
What does my Dad working on his racecar at home have ANYTHING to do with being Tech at Barrie???
Our car is sitting on jackstands with the tires off...nothing else has been touched since last season.

Lets see if I have this right .... The guy that owns the track who's brother is dominating the Thunder car class and is welcomed by the techs when he pulls in with high fives said Joe knew to many and talked to too many drivers ?
I am not doubting what you say but I will find out what the real reason was because I know BS when I smell it .
Your dad could have 10 cars at home but that has nothing to do with teching the cars now .
PC, I don;t know if you will ever find out the real reason, thats why we suspect my option B posted above...
