Toyota 8 wins huh?

I guess all of those Jr. fans were right! "Dem Toyoters are cheat'n! Jr. ain't dat bad!" OK, it wasn't just Jr. fans, it was everyone not in a Toyota. I currently pull for a driver that drives a Toyota, Stewart. In my heart of hearts I believe this is the top reason why Tony is leaving JGR. He is taking the highest of high roads. <--(sarcasm) I'm with the Chevy, Ford, and Dodge owners on this one. Toyota played the dyno game and got caught in the Nationwide series. I do think that they have been play'n it in the cup series as well. I just could not wrap my mind around how two of these:

could improve a race car. The photos are of two 1/4 inch magnets that cost 4 dollars each. When I heard that they were under the gas pedal I was really puzzled. Did the magnets hold the pedal down to help corner times? Did it help on restarts with "hot shifts"? I just could not grasp why you would want the gas pedal stuck to the floor. Foolish GET3! It never had to do with turning one lap in the car. It was for the dyno testing. The two (4 dollar magnets) were placed under the gas pedal to prevent the 100% stroke of the pedal. This shows up on the dyno as lower horse power. NASCAR makes all of their decisions on the dyno or wind tunnel. X car maker has to much horse power on the dyno results in engine modification to "equal" other manufactures. X car maker has to much down force in the wind tunnel results in body modification to "equal" other manufactures. Toyota shows they have "equal" horse power to all the rest on the dyno. On race day, when there is no magnets under the pedal, they had 10 to 15% more than the rest.

Now, Toyota says "We were not "aware" that JGR was doing this." Wink wink nod nod! Well Jr. fans ya'll were right "Dem Toyoters wer cheat'n!" I do honestly think that Toyota played the dyno game and won eight cup races. Looks like little Kyle B. might have an asterisk by his eight wins! I sure am glad Tony is getting out of that unsportsmanlike race team!

it's good to know that all the hours i spent in my tin foil lined safe room, wearing the collander on my head, pouring over spy cam footage and raw tech data smuggled out of top secret NASCAR test facilities was not wasted!

Mr. Gibson, please keep taking your meds. Mrs. Roberts will be there in the am to help with the raw data. LOL Everyone kept say'n that the Toyota had soooo much power. Now we know why.

you saw how quick jgj stepped up and admitted fault in their nationwide program. that way they can avoid answering questions about the sprint cars. nascar doesn't want people to start not liking "rowdy" busch again, after all the work they've done trying to get the media to push him on us as a "wheel man"! jug eared punk @$$!!!

I am on your "short" bus on this one. You (CWF) are right all the way! This ain't just a little thing either. The engine, the foundation of the car, clearly has more horsepower than all the rest. Just look at JGR's top 10s, that is cold hard cash! Like I said, I'm glad Tony is leaving that "cheat'n" team.
