Boy, talk about a liberal interpretation of the rulebook. The 100 lbs is supposed to pertain to the weight box and contents. That's why the bolts don't have to be welded.
A car with a stock gas tank can carry another 120 lbs or 20, depending on preference. Still legal to burn up fuel, isn't it?
What about spare tires/ That's another 50-60. Still legal ,as far as I know.
Somebody better get to work changing the rulebook, rather than making it up as they go along.
