  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.

Thanks, Deepindebt and MRK.  I now have two-count-them-two patches from 2023!  I got the '24 item already so now the sewing fun begins.

I wonder if any more will arrive. . .

No worries. Glad to help you out.

Thank you Sir.  I may add 4" to the nose of the car now.

Please read the rule again.
The body stretch must be in the "cowl area in front of the firewall". 
I understand that "cowl area" is rather vague but in the spirit of the rule, adding 4" to the "front" of the car would not be acceptable.
Check with Mike LeFevers to make sure.
Cheers.

My wife had always told me, if I won the lottery, she is gonna take half and leave. So last week I came home handed her $11.50, with reciept and told her to pack her crap.

Good one.  If I see you on the salt at Speedweek 2024, I'll offer you a beer.  I'll be the one in a "desert sand"-colored
Toyota truck that appears to be missing most of its left front fender.  I'll bring beer and soda to give to my land speed racing
friends (and acquaintances) in this community.

Built by George Barris,
Sidewinder trike and Snakepit. the car's got 6 Ford 351's in it.

Please pardon my skepticism about its (claimed/expected/fantasized-about) ability to go anywhere near 300 mph.  But thanks for sharing.

I shall offer a small hint to all of the mechanical minds...The rear sprockets each have one way sprags in them...Think about it a moment.

That could work, then.  Just my opinion.  If not for the sprags, the thing would tend to "bind" on itself, I believe.
