What line of work gives you this insight into the psyche of cheaters?
We all come across people like this. They talk fast and often about things not related to the issue at hand just to keep you distracted. Could be a car salesman asking you about your kids during a test drive of their used car. The carpet installer that scratched up your walls and is telling you how awesome the new carpet looks while your doing a final inspection before they leave. Or, the autobody shop telling you how they don't see many cars like yours in there in such good shape, hoping that as you walk around it you don't notice the crappy job they did of wetsanding and polishing the paint behind the door handles.
I wonder now, after hearing what Twisted came across, how many cars were illegal at our District race. One inspector began shoving one of those common store bought gap gauges between our wheels and body. We had them set at .015". I asked her not to push too hard or she would mess up the car. She told me they had to meet the rules, except, our NSC rules don't specify a gap requirement. She handed it back to my boy and told to fix them if he needed to before weighing it in. She didn't even know the rules. I do appreciate the time they volunteer and even a situation like we had with her can be a teaching moment for the boy.
