ReValved "Spec" Shocks

[Matt_H]

I’m usually really quiet on this forum and generally keep my fingers still and just glean all the information that I can, but I have to bring this up. I may be a naive newbie who is still working my way through HPDE, but the SDsuspension ad in the classifieds for “ReValved” shocks seems like a blatant violation of the rules.

fine tune your suspension to each track for that “special” edge over the competition.

re-valve any Bilstein shock with out any external indication of tampering.

Confidentiality is guaranteed.

WTF?

I think I know the SpecE30 Regulations pretty damn well and I’ve been building my car to strictly adhere to those regulations and the “spirit” of the rules. Like I said, I may be naive, but I would like to believe that everyone else takes the rules as seriously as I do.

This is apparently not the first time that this issue has come up:

A few of our drivers have mentioned shops and individuals who have offered re-valving in an attempt to gain an illegal advantage. I want everyone to know that if a driver is caught with an illegal damper(s), the penalty will be very severe. And it will not matter if you built the car, a shop built the car, or you bought the car. As the driver, you are responsible.

I don’t know this Bernie guy and I may be stepping on some toes, but I’ll take my chances and hope I don’t burn any bridges. There’s not hardly any way for me to lose all respect for someone faster than pulling this kind of crap.

Matt,

I agree with you 100%

His ad is inappropriate for this site and should be removed. It is not in the “Spirit” of Spec E30.

If I wanted to catch cheaters, it would be a good ad to post. I am guessing NASA and SpecE30 don’t run sting operations… Or do they :dry: :dry:

I just noticed it yesterday and sent an email to Carter suggesting that it is inappropriate and should be removed also.
