He then told me now start your car and race without the box. Total BS The rule book shown to me by chuck Nelson said 8:5 all cars must be self-starting. rollers/and or push starts prohibited. I does not take much sense to figure that this means the car must have its own starter motor. All tech officials were present,Including Wesley, when chuck told me this means no jumper boxes. No one there spoke up for me. Craig hutchison said that the tech ruling will stand and there was nothing he could do about it. I said you can give me back the money you took from me. he said no . but he would appeal the decision for me.

Chuck Nelson quoted you the wrong rule, Section 8.5 is in the General Regulations. However, if you go to Section 9A - Stock Cars, Electrical: 8, Batteries, it reads:
...be of sufficient capacity to start car at any time.
