True , A required 1" or 1/2" chop off of the block would have to be notated heavily in the rules and specs...Darin McGrew wrote: However, it should be possible to "just build the car" without unintentionally violating some rule and being disqualified. If the block in your official kit is 7" long, then a maximum length less than 7" is going to cause problems at registration time.
But a more simple mod or twist would be changing weight requirements which is already part of "just building the car" and again would have to be Notated heavily in the specs...
If there are rule violations, I had rather see a violation by the actual paticipant rather than a car builder/seller... At least the participant would hopefully know how to fix it...
