It only rubbed at full lock when I was barely moving <1 mph. In the pits.

Fittings for reference:
that might work.. it still would show the lines eventho they would be 'capped' off

I would get a-hold of Brian Harmer(Rules guy) at SCCA and ask him his thoughts..Ask him what his take on that would be. Be meticulous and show your work..

Not a big deal to me. I am going to nationals and I doubt once I have it someone would contest me over it regionally. Just doesn't make sense to me lol. But that is good info because I have a letter drafted I will not send now. I do like to try to play by the rules.

I am not saying not to send it.. but just don't expect it to get approved.. I would send it regardless.. that way you have a record. Good Luck

I don't see a reason they wouldn't be.
