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Or you could say it was an outdated rule and as long as the lead is mounted safely a non-issue.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...
You might want to open your eyes sir. RB is down 50lbs and still going. The morale of the story is Usac is inept at best. The handling of the situation was horrible. Usac/Spridge failed to handle it the correct way in order to help their favorites. Which is old news.
As for the dance floor question, you will have to go back for a story from Usac posted on here about the accomplishments of Kevin Miller being president. One such great asset to paying a higher purse and promoting the best on track racing, is a new dance floor at the office instead of cubicles.
