We have heard a rumor that USLMRA and other organizations are outlawing the use of front bumpers.
We have a strong opinion on this issue. We fully understand and support not having a front bumper in most classes.
EXCEPT! The Supermod/FXS/FXT classes. These race machines are built to accelerate very hard and are very fast and are very heavy.
These classes need a front bumper from the perspective of safety. These machines lack the adaqute stopping power needed to keep from running over, under or through another competitor.
We understand and support the argument that front bumpers leads to bump racing but in the case of these classes front bumpers should be manditory. These machines are too fast and dangerous not to have front bumpers on every mower in these classes: Supermod Twin/Single and FXS/FXT. Race directors, flagmen and other officals doing their jobs should be able to run a proper race without taking away this safety precaution.
We say this with over 50 years in the racing business and years of experience organizing races and running a track
If you agree let your race promotor/director and the organizations know now before the rules change.
