If the rules do not expressly forbid it, I would say it is legal !
Stretching the rules is one facet of being a competitor within any racing
organization. When the rules get too restrictive, then we begin seeing
classes where the only difference in the cars is the paint jobs (i.e.
NASCAR, NHRA,CART,SCCA).

Subject: Chines
Now don't get this wrong, only thinking. The same
argument could be made for tail fins as chines from the saftey standpoint
as they are just chines on the upper plane of the air foil instead of the
lower one right??? If you allowed chines and partail belly pans are allowed
you could arch a panel between the chines and suddenly you are allowing
ground effects in altered class. See why stetching the rules can lead to
all kinds of complications. Kvach
