If you think someone in your class is cheating, what should you do? We inspect cars during tech inspection, plus we do surprise inspections in the staging lanes and at the scales. However, there are times that we can miss something as we are only human. If you suspect someone is not legal according to the rules, you will need to notify a tech official immediately. Do not worry, we are very discreet. Let us know as soon as possible. Do not wait until you have been eliminated before you notify an official. The best time to catch a racer is during qualifying or before eliminations so we can adjust the ladder if they are not legal. Any racer that is caught maliciously and deliberately cheating will be fined $1,000 or will face a permanent ban from MIR. The World Cup Finals will have representatives from Chevy, Ford, Mopar, Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and other manufacturers to police the rules. We are also equipped with a P&G meter (to check cubic inch size), Borescope with LCD screen, digital calipers, dial calipers, and other equipment to enforce the World Cup Rules. Read the rules carefully and make sure you are legal.
