Then you're legal. 15% weight penalty from 2700 + 50 lbs == 3155. Ok, so
you gotta fill the tank. :-)

No, we listen fine. That idea is idiotic. How does it benefit the
competitor to have to test DOT vs. Slicks? How does it benefit the
competitor to have two totally difference sets of rules make a car legal
for the same class? We already have that with the "in excess" part of the
Prepared ruleset, which most people already don't like. Why make it
worse? So that you can run your totally ESP legal car in CP? Why is that
a benefit?
