Did you all know that there is a lot of cheating in Spec E30? It must be true, or a least this clown thinks so.

Apparently there is a lot of cheating is SE30

"I have heard…"
Yeah, I’ve heard lots of stuff about everything. It’s called gossip. Unsubstantiated rumor. Someone who wants to rain on our parade based on something someone somewhere once said who has no idea what the heck they are talking about.
That poster is an assclown. By his profile he doesn’t even have a race car, so he doesn’t exist in my world.

It’s sad to read such negative and clearly false postings from people we’ve yet to meet at the track. I suppose the rise in popularity of SpecE30 will catch the attention of many people, including the Les Davis’ of the world.
Grassroots said it best when they lauded the comraderie, generosity and clean racing of the series. Carter has a winning formula and the series has a truly great collection of guys. I’m looking forward to another season and suspect many others are too. Who knows, maybe even Les will come out and see for himself what’s really going on.
See you all at VIR!

I won’t even dignify the thread with a look-see but I can say this is likely just like reading the Grand-Am forums. A bunch of people telling Grand-Am how to run a race series when they don’t even race. Of particular interest was the absolute mauling they gave Grand-Am when they announced the Daytona Prototype series a couple years ago. Over and over threads about how stupid Grand-Am was and how they killed the Rolex series for sure. They couldn’t have been more wrong. By the time that they introduced the series, the LMP class was down to about 4 cars. This weekend’s field of 28 cars for the Rolex in just three years is a testament to the vision for "spec" type racing. While several magnitudes of scale above our spending level, the Grand-Am goal was similar, spec out a chassis, offer a couple of engine pacakges and let the teams go at it from a driver/suspension setup perspective. I think the DP racing is very close and anything can happen on any weekend, something I am sure we will continue to enjoy (and me start to enjoy) in Spec e30 for the next several years to come.

The cheating comment aside, the referenced thread is comparing SE30 to the newly formed SE36. As I was looking for a place to join, avoiding BMW CCA CR was a no-brainer for me simply because how small the fields are. Most of the results I looked at for VIR showed the largest class was typically JP, where I assume people were running e30 M3’s. At most, there were usually 5 or 6. If I had kept my e36 M3 to run IS or IP, it looked like I would be racing myself on many occasions. That’s not racing in my book, just like playing with yourself is not "having sex."

I just glanced over some of the posts there.
For sure, you guys did a great job describing Spec E30 and what we’re doing. Our open dyno testing at the track and checking weights after the races (and sometimes after qualifying) has kept, I’m convinced, the cheating bug away. But even without that, I do think that we have a good group of racers who want to test there abilities in equal cars.
I just dropped off my diff at Korman for a rebuild and the nice folks there said, "Yes, we know, build it to stock."
That pretty-much says it all.

from some other posts it looks like he recently returned from Winterfest at Sebring, so maybe there was some smack talking going on there …
