  Yeah in the cow areal for ALT class. At record certification last Nov a comp coup was disqualified for extension not being in cowl area. Was overturned because extensions in Comp Coup are not limited to cowl area.

Hey Troy.
The vehicle you mention was handed their record at the meet. They were not DQ'd.
And it had nothing to do with body stretch.

    It's john ....JL222 Troy's dad,

 We were in record certification right next to the AutuPower comp coupe and body stretch in wrong area was the discussion about disqualification or so I though.

  If not that. What?

I got the words "jacuzzi" and "yakuza" confused.

It's not printed but they mean 2 percent of the wheelbase.

I was under the impression that the percentage of set back was based on wheelbase not over all length.

Rule book says body pg 78

   Fired her up last weekend and low oil pressure adjusted pump for more, no change?
   
   Took oil return line to dry sump tank and into bucket, fired engine, amazing amount of
oil into bucket in few seconds proving plenty of oil to engine and pan for pickup.

 Hoping high pressure damaged gauge, Ordered new 400 psi gauge. Can this happen?

  Will check oil flow to gauge tomorrow and check line again for blockage.

Will the salt be open to set up pits on Thursday? What are the days runs are open? Says 28-30 on the website, so just double checking.  Thanks for the info, just trying to make a tentative plan.  Sorry if this has already been posted/discussed. Thank again for holding this event, I am hoping to get some license runs in.
