Exactly my point!  There are NO measurable limits therefore this is NOT an
enforceable rule except by the officials SUBJECTIVE opinion.  (As the event
officials change so will the limits.)  Should rules be included if they are
subjective only?

I am NOT advocating writing more rules because heavens knows there are more
rules than needed.  I am saying to use common sense, be fair,  and do NOT
discriminate..........For those who have never ventured beyond stock class,
there is quite a bit of difference when you go to modified or even prepared. 
Let's be fair to all competitors.
