We actually weren't planning on having more than 30 lbs but our cover turned out to be very very heavy.
We could take it apart again, which would make it to spare material, but that would be just stupid taking stuff apart and back together.

No... most places do not weigh your 30 lbs... If you bring it in as raw material and assemble it there it only counts as the actual machined or altered parts... it is all very tricky... careful reading of the rules will allow you to maximize this to well beyond the assumed normal definition. Usually, they are aware that your team spent $4 - 5 thousand to register so they look for ways to bend over backwards to allow you to compete. I have seen "illegal" bumpers, illegal parts and illegal drive trains allowed to compete. In THIS year by the way, so as long as it is not blatant... and you do not gain an unfair advantage... you can compete. Oh they may try to be politically correct but 35 lbs.. 30 lbs... they have bigger fish to fry... and I wish they would.

We do not gain any special advantage. We have the cover and the bumpers out, thats all.
So you think we should be fine with that?
Thanks again for answering!
