    Default Car cover penalty in Lucas Oil

    Long overdue!! I applaud them for doing this.
    Per Dirt on Dirt racewire for tonight's race @ East Bay.
    No covering wheel openings or rear of car while in the pits. If they choose to, the car must weigh 50# more. Teams will get 1 warning.

    Well that's easy to get around......
    Just pull the car in the hauler or up on the lift gate or have the crew positioned around the car.

    Adding 50lb isn't enough of a penalty. If you don't want them to have it then just make it illegal to have no if, ands or buts

    Why?

    I don't understand why this is a good rule?

    Should be allowed to cover your car if you want to. Only ones that need access is Crew and Officials.

    I dont get it? Why are they doing that rule? I wouldnt want everybody seeing my hard work and money figuring out "fast" on display. What am i missing? Maybe there is a good reason.

    Why is this long overdue? Why dont they just call this the Bloomer rule, cause we all know who its targeting. I know what I would do now and thats just rope off my pit area so only the crew is near the car. I guess covering the car is an unfair advantage now. Its your car and if you want to cover it then by all means cover it.

    The world doesnt revolve around Bloomer. This has been a common rule everywhere for years. It helps make things self policing. They are also not going to allow you to rope off your pit area.

    If I had to guess, though, I'd bet the rule is in place to limit "exotic" suspensions, but it's going to have the opposite effect. Now that the everyman will be able to see what's under the national stars' cars, they'll be wanting to get the very same thing.

    I think overall that the rule is silly, but if Lucas thinks it'll make their tour better, more power to em, I guess.

    Wrenching on the car on the liftgate has disaster written all over it.

    You'll now see everyone backing their car into the pit stall. Guys will park next to each other even more than before. I don't see it as a big deal.

    Sooooo stupid. Anyone care to guess what custom made covers cost? And then how much will BGR's popularity rise when people see that Bloomer has Brian Gray Racing stickers all over his suspension?

    I think it all started back at Woodstock when his mom first met his dad after they both took a sip of the mushroom tea.

    As for the actual details on the rest of the story that fateful night,that's probably a little to private to be shared with the likes of you and your pill bottle full of screen names at this time.
    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

    Bro, just because I photoshopped his face onto Antonio Banderas' naked body, does not mean I'm obssesed. It just means I have good taste!
