It wasn't a grey area if you could read the rules, but chassis builders put places to mount weight there.
USAC chose not to take any action then and changed the rule making it legal prior to the start of this season.
Everyone's over it except Yeleyfan.
The morals of the story? USAC has favorites(no kidding), and that it wouldn't hurt RB to eat a salad once in a while so he has more weight placement options.
Or you could say it was an outdated rule and as long as the lead is mounted safely a non-issue.
I would say that USAC discriminates against normal-sized adult males. You'd see some changes in the finishing order if they added 50lbs. to the minimum weights in both Sprint Car and Midget. Everyone understands there are guys out there who aren't fat that can't make minimum with no bolt-on lead right? I have my own conspiracy theory about that...
I'm not over it either.
