this is like the dumbest rule ever, because if they were ever going to seem anything illegal, in the true "spirit" of running a traditional stick pack, then they should have outlawed saddle packs when they first appeared in pan cars decades ago.
otherwise, there's been instances at big races where guys have run 5-cell packs, so why the big stink over nothing? how long did we.txt variations of hump packs and it was okay?
I mean, unless it's some kind of oddball square pack or something, and as long as it doesn't violate the voltage rule, who cares except for whiners?
shorty pack = big tadoo about nothing imho.
