Yep, I'm guilty.
I've got to go back to school and re read the rule book !
I wonder if they will consider a crushed lower valance to also be illegally modified?

Thrown under the bus, damn.

We received the same letter for one of the cars. We were told at Virginia that the letter was coming and to fix it immediately. Jack, you and I spoke about the phone call you received 6 weeks ago stated that you could no longer notch the bumper and you stated that you have another you can easily put on. Your post may seem unclear to some as is seems to state that this is the first you are being told of them bumper issue. I am not supporting the decision of NHRA giving us 2 days to fix it from when we are formally notified but the fact remains, we were told about this months ago.

don't you just hate it when the truth and the facts get in the way of a good story or in this case complaint.

I like some give and take as well as the next guy, but 'ya know Mr 1320 your posts have a certain odor about them that drifts clear through my screen...like the kid in preschool that chants nana nana goo goo at the real players. The little burr under your saddle is a little old

When old age sets in, the memory is the second thing that quits working. Since this is a family oriented forum, we will not mention the first thing to go.

X2 on the randall on 1320. Lang & Campbell are doing their jobs. I doubt its up to them how they inform racers of their D1 concerns...

[Jeff Lee]

I think a pair of hinged bumper guards should be added...

WOW!

I have seen another COPO that has a notched rear valance for wheelie bars and he was racing.

Do they jump on everyone or is it up to the track to enforce it?
