     If you really believe this, read Mark Donohue's book "The Unfair
Advantage". Here is a man who rose to the top of our sport with the
philosophy of making himself and his cars "BETTER" than the next guy.  He
mentions going toe to toe with SCCA on rules several times as well, so he
must not have been "within the rules" at all times.  Or may be he just bent
the rules.

     Is bending the rules the same as cheating?
