If it was legal before the race, why did Chad want him to wreck it? Just because it was legal before doesn't mean that something wasn't changed during the race (i.e. - pulling on the fenders or the spoiler to alter the aero package). Chad knew something had changed - and didn't want to get caught red handed.

You said yourself that you got teched all the time because they thought you were cheating - pot calling the kettle black? Even though you passed, does that still mean you cheated?
Post race tech is a standard procedure at most tracks. Doesn't matter if you're known as the most honest racer to have ever run there. Our track championship car was teched every single week in the summer of '03. Why? Because every car in the top 5 at that track was automatically teched. Sometimes they checked wheelbase, sometimes they checked the carbs.... It really sucked when they wanted to pump the engine to check compression (pulling valve covers and spark plugs on a just raced engine isn't a fun thing to do in the dark). We NEVER had an illegal part or modification to our car. To be honest, we were too dumb to cheat. But we didn't want to anyway.

[quoute]I'm not a fan of theirs nor do I race roundy-round, but if you want to trash them, pick a better argument, that ones been burnt to a crisp.[/QUOTE]

I think your argument is the one that is burnt...
