McGaha is still butt hurt about his crew chief leaving and going over to Elite a few years back. He was publically very pissed off about it when it happened.
Looks like Elite is in his head at the cost of 2K LOL

What is 2k for what those teams spend in a weekend. Probably doesn't cover the fuel bill for the generators for the weekend.

IF you look at some of the posts on the elite facebook page he is in their heads as much as they are in his. Least he manned up and put his money where is mouth is. Could have been a whiner and called them cheaters and just run his mouth.

It's available to every team willing to do it. He had enough balls to do it.

But he chose Elite and not KB racing who is in the front of the pack week in and week out. This was personal

McGaha says on tv that Richard Freeman told in 2015 that they were using illegal fuel and he waits 3 years to protest?

Not only that but if you were cheating would you tell your competitors what you were actually doing?

I do not have a problem with it and I am already tired of hearing about it like it is some kind of big deal. Seems like some were trying to create drama. Look, I think it is a good thing they can protest if they think something is wrong and it helps to keep everyone legit.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Who has the most to lose if caught cheating? I'm no fan of Jeggie but he would never put himself in that position it would kill the family business and all they do for the sport, that would be the last person I would protest.

Mike, it’s not cheating, it’s how you interpretate the rules and how they rule on your interpretation..

An office colleague of mine who campaigns a dirt modified says "If they don't check for it, it's not a rule."

There ya go. Put the burden on the sanctioning body where it belongs, after all it's their rules. Just like doping in sports, if everyone else is doing it and the sanctioning body is allowing it, even if by default, you can't win unless less you're a better doper.

I don't think NHRA would have said anything publicly if they were cheating. NHRA has to much to lose. But if the Elite cars are slow in Brainard. They I would suspect something was found.

This hole statement makes zero sense at all. What does NHRA have to lose? And why would NHRA allow Elite to still cheat at a national event when they were all torn down interviewed on national TV?
