Okay, serious answer, Doug, from one who is not really deep into mod so it
may be worth about as much as those goofy answers.
First, IMHO, you do seem to have found a loophole. But,
Second, can you guarantee that that gap will be maintained under all
circumstances of braking, acceleration and suspension squat? If it hits
ground at some time, you've just "sealed" the underside and at that moment
became illegal.
I have an airdam on my Prep car. It is about 3 inches above ground when the
car is standing still. Photog at Nationals caught me with that dam ON THE
GROUND under hard braking. But then I knew it did that just from the edge
wear.
Perhaps a full skirt may not be a good idea. maybe a front chin spoiler
would be.
And for those thinking about sucker cars, they were banned years ago (Andy
Whittle had one once).
