UMP doesn't have a leg to stand on if lawyers get involved.
Horse Hockey! Since there has already been a press release issued wherein the Gerstner teams has admitted to using "products" in their tire program, And whereas DirtCar has a published tire rule that states: "Chemicals or tire softening is not permitted at any time".....A judge would probably dismiss this case pretty quickly.
You guys can dice it, slice it, mince it, throw it in the food processor any way you want. DirtCar has a clearly stated rule. "No Chemicals on tires permitted". Don't know how much clearer it can be. Kloss violated that rule. Wether it was with a tire prep/simple green/Dawn detergent/or a combination of things. It was something that they were doing for every race, the tires were reacting to the so called "products" and obviously they felt they were gaining a competitive edge by adopting this "tire program". That my friends, is cheating.
As far as the "chain of custody" matter. What difference does that make???? They already told the UMP official "here is a sample of what we put on our tire." Isn't that the same as saying "We put chemicals on that tire"?????????? You've already admitted guilt, why are you now going to challenge the way the sample was taken? Thats just stupid!
I will agree with one of their statments. There should be (if there isn't already) a clearly published fine and penalty, and yes everyone should be held to it.
