Here is the part I was talking about



we are not hitting this hard but it is at high speed comming into the lst corner and the edges are Wood that have flat edges not rounded. I am not running a wide enough bumper to push the car off the side before the tire will hit the wall and be pushed back.

One of the racers (whu likes the walls too much) has built an aluminum front bumper. It looks exactly like the Gen X Carbon Bumper that covers the front of the tires but It's about 3x as heavy. Even thought it is mostly air due to the holes drilled into it.

I Will try to get a picture of it the next time here is at a race. But here is the One from CRC that the local guys here hate but it's the same shape as his.
