yes, that is an actual rule. Something like, the car must be able to fit a full size pack (stick or saddle) and only foams can be used to take up extra space and they can't be attached to the chassis.
Thing is, at the recent roar nats the rule wasn't actually enforced. Tessman's buggy was set up to only accept a shorty pack and still passed tech. The rule will likely change, but for now it's there.
