[Shotimes] Annie goes solo too

[Robert Bruce]

As for motorsports, cheating isn't cheating until you get caught.  Up to
that point it is only creative interpretation of the rules.  If it wasn't
for each racer's interpretation of the rules, the sanctioning bodies
wouldn't need inspectors.

3.2 in an MTX is legal? How is that? Considered a legal overbore?

Who needs to mess with brake plugs, EH runners and other stuff when you can
legally cheat with a 3.2??

FWIW, there was a Peter Egan story a few years back about one of the cars he
was building for a stock class (don't remember the car or the
engine......Formula Ford, maybe??). Anyway, he went to get a stock, legal
camshaft done for him. Guy asked him if he wanted that, or the cheater
'stock" grind with a faster ramp (but still with stock lift & duration) that
all of the other racers wee running? Yeah, it's cheating I guess, but the
parts meet the specs in the rules, even though they are being "bent" a bit.

Dancing around the rules probably started with the first-ever racing class.
Smokey Yunick made a career of it!!

3.2L is legal. That is the stupid part. In addition, the 26mm rear bar,
unless
it came on that car, moves you as well.

  Or a 3.2L...  Oooops~

  Any specific reason the SHO isn't competitive?
