Now you've done it, I expect to see you classed in XP for the next event Ash. ;-)

I seem to vaguely remember that I have been assigned the task as manager of the protest procedure this year. And as I am clearly a "rules nazi" there is no way in heck I'll be letting any illegal headrest/sunvisor/cigarette lighter modifications. Though I can't be held responsible if Ryan overrules me and gives the protester a crotch punch instead. :-)

So like, that causes the airflow with the open window to add downforce, right? I read if you flip the sunvisors outside the windows you can use them as adjustable winglets :lol:

Except that the sun visors on the Focus won't hold up to that, hence the Mazda sunvisor conversion. :D Hee hee, way to bring a thread full circle, eh?

Todd, to answer your question about two drivers, the management at the Rock said it would be fine, you just need to buy two tech cards. Not sure what we will do if you both end up facing each other in the bracket though...

Interestingly enough, removing the cigarette lighter and filling tires with an inert gas are both legal under stock rules.

But don't let that spoil your fun ...

And someone proves that the educational system failed to introduce students to inert gases.

:P

LOL, I never said I was educated!

I actually meant to say hydrogen, I was thinking of the Hindenburg, but I posted nitrogen LOL. My bad! :D I must be inert!
