Spare tire

Let's go back to this. Is it a requirement to have a spare? Or has it been a way to add weight in the past that's not needed now?

In stock it is not required, but can be used as additional weight beyond the weight box. One thing Travis used to look at was that it was at least something that you could bolt in the car. Correct bolt circle etc. we use a bumper jack and the original hold down on our 66 Nova sometimes when we run a heavier class.
