Driver, Please read rule #12 which is for front bumpers. It was brought to my attention that i did not have one of the rules on the front bumper. I am only allowing car bumpers only and you can stuff the bumper with (one) 2 3/8 metal pipe or you can have the 5 inch plate on the outside of the bumper. I will not allow homemade bumpers. Please read the rule and give me a call if you have any questions
Thank You
Troy
