How is it possible that rear axle won't go on that Honda?

A bigass air driver in the middle of a heated 200 mile race, what could
go wrong? On top of that, one pit crew for two riders, at some point
you've got to shine one on, but tough luck for Jake any way you look at
it. Heh, he prolly took some solace knowing had he won he might have
been DQ'd for the same reason his team mate was...

I really hope that the "problem cranks" are not of the same sort of situation
as
that imbroglio a few years ago where a local rider was deeked for having
"modified
valves" when all they'd done was put them in a drill and scotch brite 'em.
(Sorry I
can't give a name...)

That case was the first thing I thought of when I heard about the DQ.
IIRC, not only did they DQ the privateer for scotch-briting his
valves, but they also suspended him from racing for something like six
months. Wanna bet Josh doesn't get the same treatment?

That happened up at Loudon, didn't it? You're probably right that Jake won't
get
the same treatment, though.
