Two things come to mind here. Rent the video Miller's Crossing and watch the
first scenes where a mobster is complaining about a Horse Race that he had paid to
have fixed was double crossed and somebody else also fixed the race...then read
the post below and you'll know where statements like "Honor amoung Thieves" came
from. btw..The Williams F1 team is pretty good at reading between the rule book
lines maybe you should apply!

Controversial End to World Series
1998 World Series of Internet Short Track Racing
Division Champions:
N1 Modifieds: #08 Chas Bornemann, Kellnersville, WI
N1 Outlaw Late Models: #96 Kevin Crabtree, Salinas, CA
N2 Late Model Stock Cars: #12 Jimmy McKinley, Norfolk, VA
In a controversial decsion by World Series officials, Chuck Embry III retained
his night number nine Outlaw feature victory. Embry once again powered the
Embry A/C - Embry Auto Body number 33 to fast time and the win, despite
"reading beyond the rule book".
"Well, Mr. McKinley didn't say we couldn't change the tire compounds or adjust
the rear camber. There's nothing in the rules that say you COULDN'T do it, and
I figured all those guys knew we could do that. Heck, they were all so fast
too, so I just did what I had to do to get up front.
"At least I told you about it!...A lot of guys would not have!!!...The only
reason I told you about it is because i have a lot of respect for you and the
way you run the series and the fairness you been displaying throughout the
entire series to me and the rest of the drivers....you done a great job
running the series and driving in it as well..I just want everyone to know
that I had no intention of doing anything that was not legal or not presented
in the rules...This is so everyone knows where I stand on the issue...and that
I will not use this utility to my advantedge in the future."
Jimmy McKinley, World Series director had this to say about the issue: "Chuck
is a great competitor. I hate to have to do something drastic, but since we
didn't have anything in the rules to prohibit the use of the rear camber
adjustments and the tire compounds, there's really nothing I can say or do
about it. The setup changes are undetectable without the proper software,
and, unfortunately, we didn't have that software. So, the standings will
remain; Chuck's win will stand on night nine."
Finishing second, Kevin Crabtree won the overall series title in the division,
while Kevin Morgan sat out Saturday night. Finishing third in the closer for
the Outlaws was Chris Rhynold. Tim Kellebrew and Greg Colgan rounded out the
top five.
In the Late Model Stock Car division, Dave Thayer won the final round over
Jimmy McKinley. Thayer's teammate, Rudi Kusters, finished third over Arthur
Rymer and Mike Spinelli. The points got really shaken up in the LMSC's, as
Jimmy McKinley wound up on top after winning five features during the Series.
Thayer was second, followed by Kusters, Rymer, and Chas Bornemann.
The Modifieds saw Bornemann win his fifth feature as well, taking the victory
over Jimmy McKinley and Robert Mitchell. Bornemann won the points title as
well, by four*** points over McKinley.
