Long story short: He finally got busted.

People have been talking about it for years, looks like they finally got the case against him put together.

Pride comes before the fall. The guy thought he outsmarted everyone. Almost...

For some very interesting insight as to Level 5's expenditure level, go to dinnerwithracers.com and listen to the episode on Level 5. You'll hear about their effort to get Tucker to a sub 2 minute lap at the SCCA Runoffs in a D Sport Racer. Car had a custom developed engine, hours and hours of CFD, multiple suspension geometries all developed on Multimatic's simulator, over a dozen test days at Putnam Park and Road America. All for a SCCA title.

Fascinating podcast and the story told by Jeff Braun, a superb engineer.

When he talks about the Porsche in STO and mentions "the Viper," that's me.

I was at Road America that year and remember rooting for you because: I remembered your name from this forum, and, Tucker's effort (budget, resources, paddock, etc) was so "over the top".

Seems like for $100 million, he coulda run F1 or something

I think even the back markers in F1 are spending more than that.

Obscure.

Thank you.

I felt like I was representing every Club racer that day.

Truthfully, I never felt any ill-will towards Scott, and certainly not his team. I'm still friends with many of them. No one has ever accused me of running a shoe-string race program, so how could I whine about the money he spent?

But it did get absurd.

I remember talking with the a Kelly-Moss guys at Sebring one year, and I joked about Scott hoing Spec Miata racing. They rolled their eyes and all said, "the world's first $250,000 Miata."

At the end, I think those guys had a certain amount of respect (if that's the right word) for what I did because I gave him a good run and didn't complain about the disparity in budgets. They knew what the "score" was.
