A-hole hacks who copy someone elses article are the real cheaters who NEVER read the rules and don't know anything
about cars.
Jerks who jump onto acid dipping don't know that if minimum weight is specified in the rule book,
acid dipping lightens and then the weight is added back in....usually making a lower center of gravity.
And if a rule has no way to check it and if it's not in the rule book it is not cheating.
That's why cars are weighed after a race instead of before the race.
