Yes, you heard of things like this all the time back in the day, until they started to require things to be done/assembled/placed a certain way.
Crew chiefs and mechanics used to modify parts of the cars that weren't legal, but weren't defined as illegal in the rule books.

When'd this start happening? In the past fine money has always gone back into the point fund.

It keeps costs down by having carborated engines and manual gear boxes, otherwise teams like Robby Gordon wouldn't be able to run full time.
