Google, Smokey Yunick long rod theory. You will have plenty to read.
I got a real good chuckle at some of the NASCAR feuds he made. I especially like the one where Nascar had the rule of you could only have a certain size tank but they did not specify the size of the full line so he made a fuel line 11 feet long and 2" in diameter that held an extra 5 gallons of gas and where he inflated a basket ball and after the inspection he deflated the basketball in the tank. Now I guess I will search for the rod story. I got a little side tracked reading how people crossed the gray line in the world of black and white.
