Josh Fremouw Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The winner was dq'ed for a rev box that didn't work last I heard they took his points and money but not the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFeet13 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Lost points and prize money, but was allowed to keep his "win". Yes, a tech issue. Non functioning rev limiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudemann Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 that's $4000 dirtcar will keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan dan Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 I was told no chip in it. Regardless that's crap, 1st place ain't legal then 2nd is and should be the winner. Money points and trophy. Plain and simple. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danimal Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 This is why crate motors are cheated up everwhere biggest race and cheats chip gets to keep trophy bs.. Dirtcar needs to take a stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeT76 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Why take a stand? Right now one car owner, and a few die hard fans are upset. I'd guess a huge percentage of the people at the track today do not, and will never know. So few people care that it doesn't matter. Admitting that cheaters win is bad publicity. Pretty sure that car failed tech after one of the earlier races, too. It was interesting watching him trying to break the scales after being found light. And yet I sat in one corner with four other sportsman racers who all know that following the rules will result in not qualifying, so why bother?

The Rabbitt Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Rev Boxes not working... pfffffftttttt :tease: .. Did anyone else find it impressive a prostock could whip a victory donut on the front stretch and NOT hit the rev chip??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rabbitt Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 And Joe, different car, that was 7 that was light after the triple 10s... The 28 had his spot locked in and ran around a half lap behind the field in his 10lapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan dan Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 I know the owner joe and I say he is a tad more than upset. But if I am getting the the jist of what u saying is u may as damn well cheat cause u can get away with it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYracefan Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 If someone is found to be illegal, then the highest finishing legal car should be declared the winner, and should get all points and money owed to the race winner. This crap about taking away money but not the win has got to stop. So the guy who really should win takes second place points and money, where does the winner's share go? Right into DIRT's pocket I have to assume, which is just plain wrong in every way. All that said, I thought I read somewhere else that the winner was actually found to be legal and money and points returned, can anyone confirm this?

JoeT76 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I would be livid. I didn't intend to demean the insult he has received. Crate racing is supposed to be affordable. Clearly, cheating makes it less so. DIRT won't be doing anything about it. That leaves car owners with a decision: Cheat, lose, or quit. Not a good position to be in.

NiagaraRaceFan Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 you guys that think that Dirtcar puts on this massive week long event just to "steal" the winner's payout are a joke. grow up. past winner's share money that was withheld was added to the series points fund and split up among the top 15 drivers. yes, it would be best if all finishing positions moved up one spot on a dq but if you follow the sport and pay attention to the rules you would know that only happens when a guy is light on the scales. when a guy clears the scales and is announced to the public as the winner yet later fails tech we have the result that happened today. this is nothing new. it happens all the time. as long as it is consistent and the sanctioning body explains what will happen with that winner's money then there is really no grounds for screaming and crying about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan dan Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Grow up? How bout if the guy that should be the winner cause he didn't cheat doesn't follow the series? So he loses out. He ain't getting nothing outta that 1st place money put into the point fund. Sound fair? Didn't think so. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYracefan Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Sorry, I do not care what the rules are (nor was I aware they had such a rule) but the first legal car across the line IN ANY SERIES should be declared the winner of the race. No argument will ever change my mind on that. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merritville mod fan Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 sean my memory fails me, who is the 358 driver who got a year off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Bob Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 DIRT thinks there NASCAR by not taking the win away. Nascar doesn't take a win away because they don't want fans leaving the track thinking a driver won, only to find out on Monday that they didn't. Lame excuse! Cheaters shouldn't get Sh*t. Just there name on the bottom of the results page with a big DQ next to it! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmitchell Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Mike that would be #38 of Luke Whitteker. He returned at Mohawk for the 358 series race in September. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper60 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 If the chip didn't get him, the 4 inch exhaust should have, or even the big cam in that thing (anyone else hear it rolling through the pit area? obvious much?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in the DRIPCAR rule book does it state what size the exhaust must be?? they state the header spec and muffler size and spec. but no where do i see what the tailpipe size is required? as for the big cam? why didnt any of the other 50+ sportsman teams say anything to DRIPCAR about it if they felt it was an issue? the racers are their own worst enemy.

I think I should just not comment on this. I didn't build a car for Syracuse, and I wasn't racing. So this really has no effect on my life.
