Yeah, as long as class racing has been around, I suppose just about every possible trick has been tried, to try & get an advantage over the competition.
One of the real sharp techs, that could spot a lot of these tricks, & most anything not legal on a car, lives about 50 miles from me. His name is Wesley. Lots of long time class racers know who Wesley is. I assume he did all the div 4 races, for years, as well as probably quite a few nat events. I suppose he was an NHRA employee, & was used where needed.
