People go to jail every day on hearsay evidence. If you see something that tech misses, are you suppose to look the other way,[ like wrong weight sticker or racer putting something in there gas? ] because they race a different class? I`ve seen both, Tom

Apparently you can do what you want with "weight adjustment", just don't let an official see you do it. Other racers watching you do it don't count. This may not be the last time we see something like this occur.

Wowzers!!!!! What a double standard, one car bypasses the scales on a redlight losing pass and gets HP and the other is light at scales and doesn't. Yeah, that's setting a precedent for others to follow.
