Side Note: We are no longer accepting PayPal donations. They have changed their terms of service and stated they would fine PayPal users for spreading "misinformation" and "hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory". PayPal did not provide definitions for some of these vague terms. Woke corporate policies regarding "misinformation" could result in an automatic fine of $2,500 which would have been removed directly from the customer’s PayPal account. PayPal did backdown from some of their policies but quietly implemented portions of them in later terms of service. A financial institute has no right to monitor social media accounts or speech. This is unacceptable and I'll no longer do business with PayPal.

Great question. I know this may sound dumb (not my first time), but first we need to define cheating. Going against specific rules in the rule book is clearly cheating. Things like doctoring fuel or water, traction control or computer controlled engine or traction parameters, over cubic inches, drawbar, weight, etc... are all pretty clear forms of cheating. However, it's not always so straight forward though... looking for grey areas in the rule book is where it gets tricky. Especially when the rules are poorly written or poorly though-out. Often times the intent of the rules are clear but finding ways around them is pretty easy. That is where it can turn into a really sticky situation. Is it cheating? Well the unfortunate answer is: sometimes yes, and sometimes no.

So back to the question... I know some guys justify knowingly cheating by convincing themselves that everyone else at the top must be cheating so the only way they can win is to cheat. Some guys might cheat because they disagree with the rule so they just ignore it. I think there have been plenty of guys who have cheated because they sell a product, or maybe plan to sell a product and if they don't get caught it will be money in the bank if they find the winners circle often. I don't think it's a great business model because if their customers don't get similar results their business is unlikely to survive.

Personally I don't understand how you could feel good about yourself with a tainted result.

As Jake stated that how some rules are interpreted. I have questioned the 1%over /under rule for cubic inches. Say our class is 410 , so if you build for this rule you can be 414 , but if the rule is for wear on the engine , so at the year your should be over cubed right ? So is the guy cheating for building to the rule where the limit is 410.

if you are all worried about a few ci over, -- you are all in the wrong place in Life,many bigger fish to fry, like 540,680 in the 466 class and so on, technically four is over, but who measures that close.Please don't fool yourselves into believing many don't cheat.it all depends on how you choose to read the tape, scale and interpretation of the rules.
