According to USMTS rules, the nose has to be behind the bumper also......

4.17 Nose may not extend past front bumper and must be a minimum of five (5) inches above the ground.


Also curious why the are disallowing a 2" riser on the back of the hood. IMCA allows it this year!

4.8 Reverse hood rake is not allowed. Hood must be level or slope forward toward nose of racecar. Back of hood must be flush to decking (no step downs).

imca allows nose to be within .5" outside confines of front bumper. If you build your bumper to fit exact behind the nose, youll be within the rule and can run the nose outside

IMCA came by the BSB booth at the IMIS show and said the nose has to be inside the bumper on the sides. the bottom of the nose can stick past the bumper but the bumper has to mount on the outside through the side of the frame like on a harris or grt car. anyone with a bumper mounted to the front of the stub rather than the side will have to change.

MD3 nose mounting location

Im not sure who said this from IMCA but i actualy talked to the gentlmen incharge of rules , thats not what he said , his statement was the (metal) bumper can mount front , side , top or bottom as long as the md3 is inside the confines of the bumper the only lead way they give is a 1/2 of the bottom lip . i have a feeling this is going to be an isue for quite some time , im not worried about it at this point .
