Just looking for input from you as a director.
But in reading the rule it doesn't say we are allowed to cut holes in the headlight cover area and I believe some have done this but I don't know what a "plate" is in this context. So if there are holes cut shouldn't that be illegal?
Then the question is what does a "mesh covered cooling duct" exactly mean. If there isn't an actual duct going to say the brakes then shouldn't that be illegal as well? I don't think we are/or should be allowed to run a duct that then directs air to hit the air filter. Though I think I have seen this in the past.

Bryan,
The mesh on the headlight cover allows cooling air to enter the engine bay, cooling off critical engine components and reducing the likelihood of detonation due to high engine bay temps (since pushrod 5.0's don't have fancy knock sensors).. It essentially reduces the cost to compete in CMC...
See... easy explanation...

So if a lt1 car shows up to nats with the "free ram air" mod Paul posted, will this be legal?
Be familiar with the CCR format to protest and have your money ready?
CMC 6.21.5 Any air filter or air filter assembly may be fitted and OE assemblies may be modified. Air boxes and filters must reside inside the engine compartment or in the OEM stock location. Air filter installations intentionally designed to create, or that appear to create a ram air effect are not allowed, even if they were OEM stock.
Nationals or otherwise...I would suggest not putting yourself in the position of having your hard work tossed on a subjective decision. Its just not worth it.

The "appears" wording is what had me hung up. That is soooo objective that any attempt to create this affect, but play in a gray area of back dating, or arguing any data about atmospheric pressure is negated by simply saying that it appears to be creating that. This word does not require you to actually know for sure one way or the other whether it does. Simply that it "appears"
Knowing that During a protest is burden on proof on the person protesting or defending?
