NOS and CCDA legality

Is NOS legal for closed course comps run under CCDA rules, like Outback Challenge. Nothing in the rules about it that I can see?
Similarly, what about tyre chains? Ramps and other aids are allowed so why not? Not asking if its a good idea, just legality of.

not sure. but the nos bottle needs to be mounted on an
angle so the tube inside the bottle can pick up the liquid.
so if your offroad the angle's would be up the shit, so it
probally wouldn't work as good as it could.
i would like to see a diesel on nos. that'd be

When I read the rules I couldn't see anything excluding them, however...
Don't the CCDA rules state that vehicles have to be legal and engineered (excluding beadlocks, etc). So since NOS is illegal it coule be excluded on those grounds. I doubt it would give you an advantage though. To get over the bottle angle problem, you could mount the bottle on a pivot at the balance point, so it is always at the right angle - or use it only on the flat.
Tyre chains - again don't see a problem - but there probably wouldn't be a lot of stages where you could keep them on for the whole stage (too much high speed driving on the OBC) - so you would get too much time penalty removing them.
