Re: Car Nack Predicts 3/06
I think that Car Nack will be wrong on this one _IF_ FIRST adopts one simple policy. In NASCAR, if Team A believes Team B has put a car with prohibited modifications on the track, they can request a tear down inspection by the authorities. If they are right and Team B has an illegal car, then Team B is penalized appropriately (up to and including having a "win" rescinded). However, if Team A is wrong and the challenged car is perfectly legal, then Team A has to pay for the tear down and rebuild. This is their penalty for filing a false charge. A similar policy could be instituted at the competitions if excessive spurious "they are shooting too fast!" charges become a problem.
