Anyone know what kind of additive they used? http://www.showbuzz.cbsnews.com/stories/20...in2480661.shtml weird - I don't think it was directly in the fuel. They said a tech found it reaching in the manifold to check for loose parts (which btw, what does that mean? There are no parts inside of an intake manifold) so I guess that maybe meant they pulled the carb/spacer/plate or whatever and he was reaching in to make sure he didn't drop a nut down there or something??? Anyway, he found it in the intake, which implies to me maybe it is some sort of "putty" with octane boosters in it that when the fuel/air mixture passes thru the intake runner it blends a little bit in at a time... and wasn't directly in the fuel or injected into the manifold. I mean, you really wouldn't be able to inject into the manifold as that would be almost impossible to visually hide anything on those "spider" intakes they have now unless they machined something into the bottom plate and had lines running on the underside of the manifold/internal to the valley area. He seems like a pretty standup guy so I really can't imagine he had anything to do with that. Toyota crews just knew they were gonna suck and somewhere some guys got a dumb idea. You can bet Toyota is TICKED over that and the other teams that got caught. edit - oh yeah, and on the point of cheating, IMHO I don't care about rules as much as what is basic to all on a human level = respect for others - if you are knowingly cheating you are an asshole and scum of the earth. Period. And you know who you are. You have no respect for your fellow racer and I have no respect for you. May the gods of kharma put you into the wall and leave you with a C2 fracture. I understand if someone makes a mistake in classifying their car and fixes it and moves on, but if you knowingly do that, you are shit. On that note, I race to have fun and enjoy company of others with that same passion, so win or lose, I just want to have a good time and maybe that is why cheating is just so far out of my realm of reality. |
