TheCloser Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 at the spectacular at thunder hill as a car pulled in to the pit gate painted primer colored i overheard two guys talking and one said that must be a corpus car i think its about time that we as drivers star to take a little more pride in what our cars look like. im not saying go all out parader but spruce up the cars a little bit. look at all the pics from the 80's and 90's all the cars looked amazing plus it might bring more fans out. the fans would rather watch decent looking cars race tha ugly ones. just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 To protect a good paint job CC needs some kind of rub bars.Contact is a reality and tires destroy a cars look.You cant repaint a car every week but some kind of tire bar would make paint last longer.You are not going to stop the rubbing.Something like the NASCAR modifieds use would do just fine.

KISS_Racing Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Trucks in Florida use one that is clear. It is 1/2 diamond(triangle) shaped with a 1/2 inch flat mounting strip that you can rivot. They run them on backhalf of front fender, door and back fender.

CJY08 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 My car was a good example of that. That pinto was a brand new car for this year was as straight as an arrow nice paint job the works....put a front nose on it 3 times...Look at it now? It's racing... We just gotta have more respect for each other and show it on the track. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
