These rules may be clarified but will be for sure final by Wednesday. I will also be writing them in sections where it’s easier to read and look for when you have a question. I may have missed something or need to better explain things so by Wednesday they will be 100% done but we are really close with these. I’m really hoping this class takes off and gets some good car counts as I believe it will. Cars are getting harder to find and more expensive so I gave you guys a little more to beat around with. Don’t abuse this or we will go back to what we had.

****We will be inspecting frames using a scope. If we can't see in your frame we're drilling a hole and sticking the camera in. It's up to you to follow the rules, no we will not give you the option to cut the side of your frame out to remove the tubing you weren't suppose to have. If we see that certain rules are abused, those rules will go away.****
