Yeeeeah... those aren't splitters. Front spoilers? Spoiler lips?
An actual splitter has more effect on the bottom of the car than the nose/top. That's why my design goes all the way back to the A arms. Rules designate that it can only extend 1/2" beyond the bumper/body (and although more would have an effect), but that really doesn't matter as much as the underside... at least with full size cars. But I did make a 2.1s pass without a wheelie bar once (I have yet to repeat it).
That said, it's all about crash protection now. I got to see Bob Hamilton rip the front bulkhead off his car in a bad wreck in person. Then I saw the aftermath photos of Todd Soltero's wreck at the smokies... I'm going to move up to some m4 screws and the splitter definitely stays.
