Harvey Jones estimates that dirt-track racing is "60-percent dishonest." He says, "I try to build a car that's legal." Among drivers, accusations of cheatingfor building too powerful an engine for the class or using an aluminum flywheel or some such noveltyare common, if costly.

Well, we were pushin' the car backwards onto the track all the time, instead of driving it in reverse. After one race, these guys come over and they say they're protesting that I'm not carrying a full gear box. It cost them $125 to do that, you know."They say, 'We want to see you drive it in reverse.' So I put it in gear and backed it up. I told 'em, 'It'll go forwards and it'll go backwards. It'll go anywhere but straight up.' They were so mad! They said, 'Then how come you've been pushin' it backwards all the time?' And I said, 'To give damn fools like you somethin' to be angry about.' "-----more memories
