Looks a little wobbly, huh?
(no comments about being six feet from the cone...I swear it was the correct line )

Clear corners is just the petty thing that could get you disqualified for illegal changes to the car. If the rule book doesn't say you can do it, don't.

Good thing the rule book says you can do it, then. From 13.2.A:

Accessories, gauges, indicators, lights and other appearance,
comfort and convenience modifications which have no effect on
performance and/or handling and do not materially reduce the
weight of the car are permitted.

I got one worse...now, granted this was only my third time out on course...after two practice days...and I had nothing done to the car other then a "STU" legal bodykit. No suspension, alignment, and fighting stock Potenza rubber.

This will never happen again since I have changed my suspension to Tein Flex.
