what bolt on products can we not run ?? I cant tell you all the bolt on things that are made. Before you buy just make sure there approved for the show you want to run. A good idea is always pushed past the limit case in point a few years ago we allowed bumpers to be made of square tubing it worked for a show or two but they got to be as big as the front of the car now you guys know why the bumper rules has been changed over the last couple of years. We use to be ok with skid plates until they went from cradle under the engine to the cross member so we limit how you can use one. Everyone allowed dist. protectors and engine cradles ( they were originally two separate pieces ) now look at them. Rear end braces has went from a brace on the back side of the rear end to a rear end that looks like it was made for military use, 03 bolt in cradles are bigger than the front frames. Enough is enough we as a company are at our limit, bigger is not better its just a way to sell you something. We don't want this to become a negative on this thread we just wanted to give people a heads up. If your parts have not been ran in the past and the vendor you got them from has not gotten them approved call us just to make it easier on you the day of the show. Here is a short list of parts in question engine cradles, Dist. protectors, bolt in 03 cradles, rear ends and rear end braces, Transmission braces ( don't go overboard with these ) basically the things with the original design to protect your high dollar investment but has turned into a monstrous contraption to make the car a lot stronger.

I think the biggest thing you guys are failing to see is your only hurting yourself with all these "add on" protectors. The stronger you build your cars, the more kinetic energy you build. When the car is over built to a point where it does not absorb that energy, guess what? You do. Do yourself a favor and leave a little bit of give while you can still tie your own shoes.

You contributed to the madness until now. Thats just honesty. You want to restrict something then put it in the rules. You want to keep cradles at a certain thickness and specify what it can bolt to, then put it in the rules. You have all year to develop a set of rules for us to build by, its ur fault u didnt restrict it before hand. For example, you said the bumpers before got out of hand, well if u left it up for interpretation then thats on u not us. The rules should tell us what not to do, instead of saying run any motor cradle just keep dp 5 inches from dash bar. What do u expect? We are all greedy sumbiches looking for an edge. Its all about the money, if u dont want it that way then next year tell us what we can do but stress what we cannot do. Who cares if the rules are 10 pages long, then u dont have a vague posting about bolt on parts on what we have all hyped as being the biggest and baddest show of the year. This is bad pr guys. For what its worth you guys run a helluva show, but if u didnt tell guys they couldnt do something in the past 6 months, why would u even consider changing or being wish washy one month prior. I need major motivation to finish my junk and this doesnt kick the shifter in the right gear thats for sure. I am all for no protector shows. Give kickers..

Right in the rules boys now this show is the greatest show of the year lets not ruin it they are just warning you ahead of time instead of pissing you off later with your pushing your limits

the NSA and NOW derby promoters are reading your facebook accounts....why didnt edward snowden warn us? how long have they been watching?...license plate readers on police cars track our driving habits and derby promoters are now working with vendors to track what you buy..... farfetched?

I would say if your building something new and it touches the frame here and holds the frame here and wleds to the body over here then dont do it ...thats what happened to the spirt in the first place all anyone thinks about is how can i put this here to make sure it dont bend blah blah blah .....tim and russ if it were me and they showed up with something crazy that cant be fixed then put it on the trailer jmo
