According to the latest copy I have of "The Rules of Racing", none of the
actions you describe are legal, in any amount.

Those same actions are usually specifically banned in the class racing rules
of most one-design classes as well. We got caught ooching in a total
drifter in which we knew we'd not make the 90 minute limit, so we took the
chance. Our DSQ was ultimately eliminated because the race was called on
time.
