Seriously, maybe they do need to consider lowering the beam.
I was talking to my Buddy again the other night that lost the Pittsburgh Raceway Park track championship when he raced his bike against a car with a stripe taker. I told him it was being discussed on this site.

I already had one designed in my head for my '97 Firebird.......would not have been very hard to make it happen. Could be used at the finishline with a momentary switch and only needed 12 volts and some fabrication time.


I did see a picture of a southern based stocker that appeared to have a stripe taker. I was not sure as it was just a picture........I thought it would have been easy to see as the car is a wheelstander and shows it's underside to the fence every run....


I agree with the post that it is your responsiblity to look at your opponents car and be very aware of the timing system. If you don't pay attention to these details you'll never win a race, except by luck......The timing system is what the races are judged on.....Untill they change it you have to know whats going on out there.

Comp cars and Pro Stockers have been using low noses or "cow catchers" for years..........

I've been bitten twice with the low nose breakout deal.....I considered it my fault for not doing something about it......
