Now the young man that runs it is plenty good on the tree and finish line, but the electric car can have a huge advantage in some conditions.

Maybe all the jr's should be electric and level the playing field so kids race kids, and not kids racing Daddy's wallets. Maybe the parents will teach their kids to play fairly rather, than the insanity that the jr's parents have created.

I think the semis of that race paid 90,000. For that kinda money I'll take my car down to nuts and bolts if you'd like. I don't see the how anyone can argue against that really, as long as its listed in the rules that it will happen if you get to X round.

Just cheat until you get to "the split", then ride on luck and skill?

Cheat through the Buy Back rounds and then remove the wire the is counting the magnets in your drilled parking pawl hooked up to the hidden 7531. Good luck sorting through the spider web of wires under the dash. Stick to the 10-20k races so everyone is 5-6 "sodas" deep and they care a lot less about the winner.

Do you think they could secretly remove any cheating devices from the car at that point without anyone noticing?

I don't think blutooth is fast enough to communicate in the time needed to make a car hit the tree and go dead on.

Can you elaborate? Remember also that the jr electric powerplants are about three times as expensive as the IC versions.

How many people can afford to buy a brand new car just to tear it up and make it a race car? I know I can't!
