NO FENDERS, AERODYNAMIC MODIFICATIONS, WEIGHTS OR DECORATIONS ALLOWED MOUNTED IN ANY FASHION TO SEAT IN FRONT OF OR BEHIND THE WHEELS OR ANYWHERE ON THE SIDE BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR WHEEL.
The statute above is from the BASX class rules; however, it has been stated that wheels weights used inside the rear wheels are legal. We all know that wheels weights, whether they are fender washers, puma wheels weights, or the D4D weight weights, do provide some amount of aerodynamic benefits. My question is this: is it legal to use plastic wheels weights, knowing that they do not really provide any weight, but do provide the same aerodynamic benefits as a fender washer (which is legal for BASX)? The plastic wheels weights would be attached to the body, not the wheels, but be completely encased by the wheels. This seems to be within the rules to me, but I just wanted to make sure.
