Kelly--thats it !!! you cannot split hairs here---it is or it is not legal according to the rule book -- if its vague you have to get a ruling on it---

give ya a for instance here ---Years ago I showed up in Columbus at the Spring Nationals with a vehicle that was 250 pounds under the minumum weight of 2800 pounds . However the rule book said if I used an automatic trans in lieu of a manual trans I could weigh 250 pounds less than a manual trans car--- never ever said anything about being under the posted minumum weight for the class which I was the car weighed 2575 or 225 pounds less than the posted class minumum weight--- They let me run begrudgingly only after going round and round for about 2 hours of discussion. Guess what?? next week like on MONDAY they changed the rule to "AT NO TIME CAN ANY CAR WEIGH LESS THAN THE CLASS MINIMUM" regardless of the equipment used.
