The NHRA Sport Compact Tech Committee will not approve this front end for use in the Urbanracer.com Sport FWD Class.

Per the recent rule revision posted for the Urbanracer.com Sport FWD class, “Based upon advanced written approval by NHRA, mild customizing and body kits permitted, but must retain full-bodied appearance. Minimum two functional doors required.”

For some reason I kinda of thought this would happen.

Just another "RULE" that is useless. IMHO

RIP Earl, Thanks for all your help and advice you wont be forgotten!

Mold a rear cover piece into the stock fender (or fiberglass ones) to block the rubber, I've seen it somewhere some years back

I wouldn't say that you would need this to keep up with anyone. I don't see any performance gain from this front end other than weight, but as long as there is weight minimums, that doesn't matter either.

Just another stupid NHRA rule, It would have been cool to have this.

Is this considered written permission?

Thanks alot.
Philip

Philip,

Not exactly, if you want written permission send pictures of the fenders and
bumper on your car, request approval. However I can tell you I see no problem
with the car you are using as an example.

with the way my i/c is mounted, that is the only bumper i have found to fit it. i guess we will see what looks better front end wise. i will have to dust off the chain saw.

i hope your not serious...

with the top cars going 155+ a front end like that will make a difference.

IMO, with the slicks covered, the car will have better aero-dynamic's, less drag. With out the two holes (where the charge pipes are) again you have less drag.

Doesn't less drag = more speed?

Looks as if the front bottom lip would benefit as well .. Of course, how do you quantify the gain in the aerodynamics, as well a little bit of downforce on the front.. Back to Back wind tunnel tests, slightly cut OEM vs the aftermarket.., it does look pretty dope though and theoretically.. there should be some type of gain.. I just can't say how much ..

This front end is much safer than stock.

@#%* the rules, I'm buying this front end for my street car.

This front end looks cool, no doubt, but it will more than likely slow the car down by having more frontal area that is not needed...

Wider is not better for aero.
