That only hurts the event IMO. This facility and race doesn't need any more "bad press" than it's already gotten. You would think they would take that as a sign to do better with the other aspects of the race (aka tech)

I personally don't think any of the top guys are cheating, but when you don't even have the tools to check, it's pretty enticing.
Sadly I think this type of no tech thing leaves the door open to issues, where it hurts the most, the club level. Teching is not hard its simply needs to be done. People are more likely to race if they know things are being check and are fair vs. thinking "to run this class I need to learn how to cheat so I can be competitive".
Outside of a a TRUE sportsman/novice class I think teching is a good thing and it benefits the races and the tracks.
IMO
