I was having a discussion with Lee Kennedy on the rear spoiler stuff and he
was talking about gray areas.... and interpretation of the rules...Lots
easier when your towing from LA... when your making a 5000 mile round
trip... you know it is harder to guess at what is going to be okay.... I
took pictures of cars that were in my class while I was there and am now
comparing notes on what I have Vs what they look like... that should help
with tech I would think...
As far as the Safety stuff.... I am going strictly by the book or a little
beyond...My Partner Brad.... keeps coming up with rules outta the NHRA book
as references... Like the wheel stud issue.... and some of it makes sense
to go by.. as it may in fact be a bit safer...
