In DW's book about the early days of NASCAR they used to use lead, fake radios and then switch them until one was dropped on an official, load the frame tubes with lead shot and pull a small cover after race start to dump the lead but they got caught when a driver was dumping the shot and had to go down pit road to miss an accident....... They started weighing the cars AFTER the race too, still do. Then Smokey caused them to start using templates with his "small sized" cars!

Smokey was a genius. That one car was something like 15/16ths scale. Came up with the idea of the counter-rotating engine to better handling. Hid fuel lines in the roll cage for "better' fuel economy. And so on and so on. His rule rule book started between the lines of the Nascar rule book.
