Really makes you wonder how far removed the NHRA management has become from the people they represent. ( the racers ) Only goes to prove that if you don't know what you are talking about-------PUNT !

Bruce, you handled that amazingly well.

After a big drink of Maalox, I got out the Official Rule Book and looked under Section 7 Body, Fenders, It states that we can trim the leading and trailing edges of our fenders a maximum of 2 inches for tire clearance.

It would seem to me that they are making an allowance for the tires that they allow us to use, knowing that we have to use something that will not fit without modification.

I see no difference in allowing wheelie bars, they know that some cars will require modifications to make them fit.

I guess that would be too simple.
