Honestly adding weight is safe when the person adding it knows how to properly secure it.
We showed up with our two #10s and weighed in at 1120 and 1130. We had a 10# block on one car to make weight. These are Illini Series Cars. The fact that we came in 3Rd and 8th (from the tail of the field) is a victory in our book.
Integrity is everything when u show up at the track. If you show up illegal get legal or go home. I would have rather seen 17 cars roll off the feature that rolled off the trailer correct to the rules than make a change to give only 6 cars an advantage over the rest of the field.
That is well said MWR
