Public shaming is criminal. Moreso than this mod.
I'm pretty sure it's perfectly legal to write someone's name on a Facebook wall. Shaming the cheater serves 2 purposes: #1. It punishes them directly. Simply making them change motors does not deter them from cheating in the future. #2 It deters others from acting the same way, ie. "you don't want to be like
that guy.

Nonsense. Stock is healthier now than at any time in the history of the sport. Racing in my region is healthier than it's been in the past decade because of blinky stock. It's cheaper to run than mod once you realize participating in the motor of the month club doesn't show up on the time sheets, unless your track crew builds jumps specifically to reward those top 5% of motor/battery buyers. The biggest cost associated with competitiveness is tires and there's no disputing that modified increases that cost.

Name them or you're lying.

The power differential is discouraging for the newer drivers and frustrating for the faster drivers trying to pass them. Do away with stock and you will see numbers at most tracks dwindle dramatically.
