i will be adding them to both my cars being they have a short over hang to make them right at 45"
most dont know that the staging beams and ET beam at the end of the track are at 2 different heights.
they installed one on a A/M car the last Heads Up race at Milan, look to be around 16" long, he went his best ET with it installed
they where not designed for bracket racing !



Uh, Bob, you're a hell of a fabricator...but you got a whole bunch to learn about bracket, and index racing if you believe that!!!

First off, its not just the staging beams, it's all the beams, EXCEPT the finish line. So as soon as you put the stripe taker, out there, not only do they pick up ET, but you get a nice bogus bump in MPH, typically 3-5 mph, so it's deceiving on qualifying sheets, and what people think about your abilty to close on them or vice versa. Now do I need to explain about the stock elim guys who's stripe takers miss the beam under full throttle, but catch it on the brakes??? It's Chess baby, not checkers...
