A quick comparison of rulebooks for related series shows IMRA requires automotive-powered cars to scale at 1100 pounds; Illini Midgets (dirt tracks under 1/4 mile) 1115; USAC HPD (Focus) Midgets have to scale at 1140, so cars that regularly run in these series wouldn't have too much trouble with the original limit.
Glancing at the entry list, the only real "shoes" are Austin Brown and Cory Kruseman; Cory's probably in one of his School's Foci (along with Dylan Ito; George's kid?), so probably not running anything trick.
There's no discussion of this on the Shootout's Facebook page, so it's puzzling, for sure.
