Presumably the advantage to widening the body would be to widen the track
width. Since the PCS spells out the legal track width, I have to question
whether the story is true. Winners get checked the most and it would doesn't
seem to make much sense to go to the effort of sectioning the body when the
advantage would be nullified the first time an inspector stretched a tape
measure across the wheels.
