Justin and myself have had a few discussions about how low he runs his cars and I have had to replaced the belly pan and have to bend back the collectors on the headers about every other race but Justin insist that the front has to be that low in order to trip the finish line beams the same every run. Well I guess it paid off in the end. We knew at the race that Justin had got the win because of the setup of his racecar vs. Brads. Jeff Foster said as soon as the ESPN guys saw the replay they called over to the tower and had them look at it. Jeff said that it is up to the competitor to know what is tripping the beams on there racecar, either the front end or the tires. Of course we learned this the hard way Justin lost to Tony Defrank in AZ. when he first started racing Super Stock and he knew that he was ahead but the clocks showed the win in the other lane, someone brought a picture over and it clearly shows that Justin's old 84 Camaro was 2ft ahead but that his front end was 7 to 8 inchs high which caused the front tires to trip the beams. We also discovered at that time that the old car when he was on the brakes would trip the beam with the front end which could also cause a breakout a double edge sword. So know one of the first thing Justin does is make sure that under acceleration the front of his cars are not over 5 inchs high going down track, you will see that he even has a stripe taker on his super gas roadster.

BTW I have been told that the finish beams are set at 5 to 6 inchs
