Probaly start a poll.
Rules take the fun out racing.

The front lip spoiler even if touching the ground will trip the first beam but wouldnt do anything since the vehicle would have to keep moving up to get to the front tire. At that point the the first beam would again come on and then you still have to go through the ROLLOUT to get the car staged. So the arguement is lacking. The only advantage would be at the other end in hopes to trigger the beam early with the lower spoiler, however under acceleration this would be very difficult as the beams are 1.65" high....

I think the rules should be, NO TRYING to make rules. The public will have already determined the winner.

Brandon, don't let this **** bother you.. Its what happens when your up on top.

I have a question though, is it legal to attach an aero lip that is 1260 ft long to the front of the car? This would greatly aide cars that break around the 60ft mark.

Wow Al, are you just posting this because the TurboTrix evo has a nice and low/big front lip?

Are you kidding me?

Aero is a huge part of pushing a brick through the air, make your car go fast and stop causing drama.

My question is SUCH a device FAIR PLAY or LEGIT ?????

Since you are saying that your lip does not effect the beams then this question does not relate to you

Its a hypothetical question

Al
Why dont you just add one and see if your 60s get better.

Yes its fair play/legit...

I almost guarantee you will gain a slim to non existant advantage to running a low front splitter, all the gain comes from keeping the air going over the top/sides of the car to minimize the drag/parachute effect from the air passing under the car and getting caught on the messy underneath.

Almost definately the reason. The sad part is Al himself is slowing his car down more than anything.....

It's just sad to see people attack others accomplishments out of jealousy.

Paul be very careful who you are accusing of typing under which name.. your really pissing me off now.. I was asleep when this thread went on and i just got into myshop and read this thread for the 1st time..

I dont side with the buschur camp Paul.. I have my own opinion and i voice it when i feel i have to.. You made the huge stink last week about buschurs car last week and then you tell me it was really AMS that was pissed.. I heard hours upon hours of crying about the BR car..You got your panties all in a bunch over nothing.. 90% of everyone on here agreed the car should stay on the list and not be strongarmed into being out on his own list.. Get in your car and run some times and stop worrying about everyone else.. The way it looks right now you have been knocked down to #4.. Look who is right below you in a street car on that list!!!
