   Why would they care about a lot of things? It's not Formula Libre, for   
   one thing. They can't just do whatever they want with the cars. The idea   
   is to work *within* the listed specifications.   
      
   You can, I assume, run with a lower than maximum allowed compression, if   
   you don't mind having a few less ponies (or watts) pushing you along.   
   But while you could run with lower horespower, you can't run with less   
   than the minimum prescribed weight to compensate.
