That fake battery deal has been around a very long time. The '69 Nova Stocker I bought and raced 20 years ago had one in it. I removed it and the trunk battery. Put a lightweight battery up front. I got DQ'ed once for improperly secured ballast in the trunk. Had weight in there not in a box as required. Long stupid story how that happened but it got me thrown out after winning rd 1 at a National event. I apologized and took my punishment and moved on. Added a second weight box after that one. Then sold the car. Rules are rules and should be enforced equally and at all events.
