Jr Dragsters. Is this what our sport is becoming

I am wondering the same thing ??? I saw some unethical and illegal things this past weekend , I have been racing at this track for over 35 years and have never seen anything like it ..first off first round my opponent ( he drives a high 14 second 6 cyl. Mustang ) pulls to the side and opens his hood I just thought he stalled or something I figured I would just wait for him to get it started, a moment later he closes the hood and proceeds to the water box he beat me 007 to my 073 on the tree despite me being dead 0 good for him ! he was gone next round I never realized he was trying to' psych " me out , I guess trying to rattle me . The points season is winding down I guess he is desperate for points. Another example rules stay 11.50 / 7.35 must have a roll bar , 5 point harness and fire jacket they even announced 7.35 and quicker wear your jacket ! meanwhile there's a guy there running 7.20s no roll bar , jacket or 5 point harness even dialing in the 7.20s whats more he was there " diving "( lining up against her and intentionally losing so she could get the round points ) for his daughter. Every race day they announce " no trans brake checking in the pits " meanwhile our track announcer no less ( he also races ) is a few pit spaces down from me " brake torqueing " the heck out of his car like a half dozen times . I mean like 3-4000 rpm then releasing ! last week there was a heated argument by two guys over lane choice evidently they flipped and both wanted the same lane ! after holding up racing for over five minutes the starter said stage or you both lose! they did finally. A few weeks ago at a nostalgia race I was running my pickup in the slow class.. second time shot is a qualifier best r.t. gets a bye or lane choice . just before eliminations a guy with a car much faster than 13.00 ( low e.t break for the class ) he or the car lost first round in a faster class comes flying in to the lanes ( I doubt he even paid for the class ) for first round and sandbags his way thru 4 rounds to Win ( I lost third round but not against him ) really !! all that for a Trophy ? I wish I would have raced him I would have added 10 seconds to my dial and parked it at the stripe waiting for him ! I am not running points and am just racing for fun and to be there for their 5 pro dial races but its getting crazy!
