Starting Line Beam vs Rest of the Track

Casey Miles · 04-21-2010, 09:50 AM

I have stripe takers on the front of my '01 Corvette, most people don't even realize that they are on the car unless you really look hard. It's a bracket car and in the rule book, it says that the body has to be 3" off the ground from front bumper to back of car. I've had pictures taken of the stripe takers and sent to IHRA and NHRA with no mention saying that they have to come off the car. Do I think it's fair, no, but it makes the front of the car consistant so that if I do stab the brakes, I know which part of the car is taking the stripe at all times.
