Indycar Penalties

[vintage]

So they give fairly significant penalties for teams pressing their brake pads back at Indy. Then we get several slaps on the wrist afterward, including Conway's. If this if the policy, why would a team NOT cheat? As long as you don't get teched, then you're golden. So all the backmarkers who want to take a chance should cheat their a**es off, as they will only likely get caught if they podium, and even then they'll only get a $5k to $15k fine. This strikes me as completely ridiculous. I mean they admit that Conway's tank could have influenced his finish, then they only get penalized $15k. He won more than that for finishing third!

15k fine with the ridiculously small purses they give.

How far off was the fuel tank? Was it 0.2 gallons or 2 gallons? How much should they be fined for 0.2 gallons vs. 2 gallons?
