Okay. Is that under general regs.? What does it say under S/SS?
Not a safety rule ,per se, but the idea is so that one couldn't easily pull out a bunch of weight for qualifying, etc. ,as I recall.
I realize that Comp cars put weight in all over the place, hose clamps and all, but we are discussing a Stock Eliminator car here.
