But anyways...can't cheat Uncle Sam. He will find out.

Motorsports is littered with Guys that embezzled to Fund their Teams! Mostly Sportscars, but Drag Racing, IndyCar & F-1 has seen it. Their was also a Reason that a nickname of IMSA was International Marijuana Smugglers Association - The Whittington Bros, John Paul Sr, & Randy Lanier were some of the Biggest Drug Dealers in America. Even Pablo Escobar had Race Cars

The Feds are really after Scott Tucker now. Tax Evasion through PayDay Loan Companies that charge beyond the Legal Limit on Interest. He did it by "Rent a Tribe", paying Indian Tribes to be the "Front" of the Company. He basically used the same formula in Racing (Level 5 Racing) as Jon Field but upped the Ante by hiring the Top Drivers to race with him (Franchitti, Briscoe, Brabham, Hunter-Reay, etc)

^ That's a sweet helmet idea...I still want to paint a particular Rebel pilot helmet design on an open face helmet. Maybe that's something I can do in my free time in the future.

Yeah, I knew Tucker had already been a convicted felon from before, and I wondered if something was going down again when he abruptly left the series and sold the cars right after winning Daytona.

Granted, tax evasion is a crime only because you're ripping off the govt...which I think the govt gets enough money as is, but that's a different argument. Tucker and Field, while they got caught, I don't think they're NEARLY the criminals that Greg Loles proved to be!

In the UK, tax authorities raided the Caterham F1 team and cars / equipment got impounded just last month.

IIRC, I think the team was sold prior and only leftover assets were impounded.
