So, based on the ruling in Vegas, this is legal, right? I whipped this up in about a half hour here at the shop. I?ll run this by tech at Carolina Dragway at the double D2 National opens this weekend and we?ll all find out for sure.

Can we get an over / under on this passing tech?

Mr. Pauley - Your work is OK for only taking half an hour but in my seventies era mind ( and i'm the only one to say it ) it just looks WRONG .Also it seems many other racers are reading the rulebook like they are lawyers trying a case - but like many have said - "Stock ain't what it used to be " .Good luck at the double ! !

I?m betting no because I built it to be as egregious as possible. 3 1/4 inches off the ground and mounted directly to the underside of the bumper. My only goal here is to have them ask me to remove it and set precedent for every other class racer that this is not considered legal.

Just curious, is that above the wheel rim if the tire was flat?
This has been a most interesting thread.

Leave it on if it passes tech. Replace rivets with bolts and slot it. Dump hard at the stripe and it will adjust itself!

They might tell you it has to be attached to the frame, not the bumper, to be "legal"

What will it do to the track under hard braking?

Could get interesting loading and unloading car from the trailer …..

We don't get the spectator draw we want at most races. If we all have
these extenders in a similar as the one show here, and maybe some
fabricated from steel, in the evening and late night races we might be
able to put on a hell of a spark show. I don't want want to be one that
hits the brakes and my extender starts digging into the track and finds
an old pipe or cable and has an rapid de-acceleration.

P.S. I can think of 10 safety reasons NOBODY should have these things!!
