for me it comes down to intent and if there is an advantage. there are many things that are gray.
i noted in the underpulley 'forum' that i had lightened my underpulley because the rules say i can substitute. in my mind, i substituted a lighter pulley that was same diameter and same material of construction.
but in somebody else's view, it was a "modification." i thought i was doing a decent job of prepping my car and others may label me a cheater.
quick questions:
can i use nitrogen to inflate my tires instead of air? do the rules say i can?
can i inflate to pressures other the car's manual? rules don't say i can.
am i really limited to 7" rim width in ita? 7" is a tire/wheel industry convention and mostly relates to the seating width of the rim. the "actual" width of a 14x7 rim is greater than 7". am i cheater? guess so!
i know some of the above are absurd but that's why i own a fire suit. its best used when throwing fuel on a fire.
i like to think the majority are not cheating. i have seen things that i thought were reaching the limits but if i am beating them, i tend to not worry. if they are beating me, then i'll have to worry. wait a minute, most every one was beating me. excuse me, i need to ponder that a while.
