It's usually true that when boys race cars, boys cheat. Women probably do too. And when nobody is found to be cheating, it's usually because they haven't yet been caught.
That's especially true when the vehicles to be raced are "stock" vehicles. To try to weed out any cheaters, General Motors has brought a Hungarian-American man by the name of Csaba Csere. Sound familiar? That's right. He's the long-time Editor in Chief of a little car magazine called Car and Driver, now retired.
As the guest of General Motors (although not a paid one, Csere hastens to point out), he's here to crawl around the competitor cars to see if something is totally amiss. It's a pretty relaxed inspection though as Csere points out there's no way if he can tell whether someone has changed their brake pads to more track-worthy pieces. Note to competitors: You should swap out your brake pads now.
So far, no cheaters have been identified.

Who "policed" the GM side? It's pretty easy to bump boost on FI cars :)

Csere definitly brings some credibility to the process.

yeah he would never cheat for GM. he is a big time Honda fan based on comments he's made in the past.

I had wondered what Csere was up to after C&D. I figured he would turn up somewhere eventually, at another magazine, or auto oriented company.
