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 .

Don't see what pulling pans should have to do with anything, except if they did and you were caught cheating, shame on you, suck it up and take your punishment. I am glad of one thing, they can pull any part on my son's race car including the pan and he would have nothing to worry about. I am a proud parent of a racer that would not consider cheating, ok maybe think about it , but wouldn't do it, he has the attitude that if he is going to win it, he will win it fair, then no one can take that away from him.
Oh and pinecrest if that was an appology, I except........

I think that this decision is right. Joe is a great guy but no tech man at any track should be linked to drivers it causes contriversy no matter what, and then the tech man gets judged that he or she is biased even if they are being fair. Its not fair to the tech person, track or other drivers in that division. I spoke with Steve because I was surprised to hear this and he said there was too many people judging Joe and it wasnt fair to him or anybody else, he also said that Joe was a good guy and a good tech man they just need somebody who has no ties to cars there.

Yorkie ''I can see the tech Pulling Pans because with the tecnoligy that BSW have and Paid a lot of money ''Oh wait a MIN. my mistake The drivers Pay for these Transponders They can also keep and eye on the Lap Times some of these racers are doing and the Owners and the Announcers Allready told of the Technoligy so accually There is no exuse of why the Tech seem to realize that some thing is up and start pulling these pans ,,Why do you think BSW have done this ''To make Tech easier,,and Done like dirt,,Just my Opinion

!!!Instead of DQ ing a lot of the illegal cars why can't BSW start Giving Fines''to these teams,,It may Hurt the pocket book a bit but at least BSW can still get Revenue From Fines,,

What you don't think that they are getting enough revenue already? With the $110 NASCAR crap (that gives nothing to anyone but the llm), plus the registration fee, the entrance fee every night, gas, repairs from other that smash people on purpose or that just can't drive. Most people do this for fun and cause the like competions. Most teams are nickle and dime teams, with the exception of ST. Onge maybe. The field would be pretty empty if the started handing out fines. As it is when the tear someone down and the are found legal they must replace all the gaskets etc at their own cost.

What is the answer.....i don't know but fines certainly aren't.
