RA Dirty Rotten Cheaters

Well, no offense but all of this is still paddock rumors and not facts until someone directly involved posts (which is highly unlikely).

Not to be a smart ass but I heard the rumor from a CCS official.

I wasn't entered in the TC so I don't have a pony in this race but my personal feeling is that if you feel you have to cheat then by all means go right ahead, I'm not going to feel bad about being beaten by an illegal bike, how does it feel to win with a cheater bike? I'll never know. In the  end a talented rider will be remembered but not in a favorable light.

are we talking about that cute little Blonde chick thats looks really good in her leathers?
Wow i hope she dosn't stop coming to the track i like looking at her.
as far as her the guy goes he can stay home.

Wow, way to turn women onto the sport  ::)

On another note I never heard anything regarding the armbands over the weekend but if that part is true then man I don't even know what to think. That is pretty bad...

Umm it was on the ccs website that they were disqualified for having an illegal bike.

how much more hp does a 750 have vs a 600?
and which one had an flipped arm band?

[Spooner427]

I guess the real question is when they filled out the registration for the GTU what did they put down for bike description? Also what did they put down for the description for other races entered. That would answer some questions. If they put 750 then it could be a mistake but if they put 600 then it's different.

The CCS officials will always bend for well known people..... Sucks but that life.

Good questions Spooner

I just would like to see a post from a CCS official clarifying what happened both with the Friday entry and Saturday;s changes (if any)
I'm also would appreciate a confirmation of the wrist band situation.

Why are the officials not talking?

I know Guy and he is a straight shooter.  I understand his outrage if he is convinced of there was foul play.

As I said in my first post, I also know Melissa and Alan and I they are good people.

For me, the jury is still out until I hear the "official" facts.
I hope they come to light soon.

Of course it depends on what model year they each are and to what degree they've had performance work done, but the 750 having about 30 more Hp would be reasonable.

I worked Tech and Grid at RA this weekend. 

I was not involved in the filing of the protest or the resulting investigation.

The politically correct thing for me to say is that most of what I know is 2nd hand - so it would be inappropriate for me to confirm/deny any part of this.

The only people who could contribute first hand information to this either do not post here or see no benefit in discussing this in a public forum.

There are 2 things that I know as facts:
1. Bike #711 was disqualified from the Team Challenge.
2. Melissa returned to Tech on Saturday morning for a new Tech sticker (to put her in a different practice group) because she had changed the class of races she was entered in.

Mine's pretty stock, and I don't think it makes 130HP on Dynojet dyno.  Does have a good amount of grunt over a 600 at the bottom end of the R's.

Why would CCS comment on this?  Why is it any of ANYONE's business after the scenario has been taken care of?  Nobody here has a "right" to an explanation.  This is between CCS and the offender(s) period.

Y'all can speculate all day long on who did what and why, but it's not going to do anyone any good.  Personally I'm just glad that Kevin and other officials were made aware (or found out about) of the issue(s) and appropriately cared for them.   That's it...

You want an inquisition, grab a needle and start playing MLB...  Until then.....

[Super Dave]

I agree mostly, Jeff.  I hope it's taken care of severely.  But general deterrence is important to in addition to specific significant punishment against the actual offenders.  So, I'd like to know what happens myself.  Maybe at the next races it will be talked about.
