I was a 50cc Cobra mechanic for a national level kid in a previous lifetime. We did it by the book and still did really well against assholes just like these guys. Our bikes still always ran better and were faster moto after moto...
Motorsports always have, and always will, be about who can cheat the best. Especially when spec rules are in place. Just part of the game.
I wish we could all get past that and take away the negative stigma that comes with cheating and getting caught. That way, a offender found guilty doesnt have to try to save face by bashing the tech inspectors or the protesting family. Deegan could just say, oh well, you caught me. Snicker, and walk off. Come back to the next race on a legal bike, or with some other trick up his sleeve.
Cheating only sucks when nobody is policing it (thus the reason I think AMA Pro Racing is such a joke).
But if there is someone policing it, and people are getting caught, then what is the fuss? Are we really going to crucify Deegan for being a dad who is hyper competitive and wants the best for his kid? Deegan is no different than any other dad on that line.
Show me a pro that claims to have made it thru their entire career without "cheating" at least once and I'll show you a liar. Anyone that has found a trick advantage, will do it if they think they will get away with it. And if youre not one of those people and you cannot relate, then this discussion is not for you. Youre not on the level of "competitive" Im referencing.

I'm not sure you can help him through this one.
jeffro503.Thanks for calling me a name and calling out your superiority as far as posts. I bow down to your 9717.
My point was don't cheat because it's a horrible lesson for your kid. Did I say no one ever cheated. Did I say the person who wrote this never cheated. She's the one who decided to take a shot at KTM people. I had no clue who wrote it at the time but she seems to be saying she knows KTM guys were a cheaters back in the day. I don't know how else she related my post on advice for kids to KTM people cheating, maybe you should be displacing your anger on her. Or SlowOldGuy (who said he wrote it). Or that pretty tree outside. My post said nothing about who does or doesn't cheat. I love my kids more than anything in the world and I wish they would win every race, baseball game, basketball game or any competition but I refuse to cheat for them.
Do you see how she missed my point?
I'll go away now and just tune in to your wisdom now and then and hopefully I'll be around to see number 10,000. You rock!
Humbly yours,
