Re: <R31> Regarding Split numbered bumpers

It's not a big deal at all - we're 2640...all four of our digits are "full size" so to speak (no 1's) and it is no problem at all making it fit nicely in 8 inches of bumper...and as the OP stated, they have 11.25.

I VERY STRONGLY advise against this split. Last year we had to totally re-construct our front and rear bumper at Championship over an interpretation that was just as "trivial." Five out of six judges said it was fine...the sixth wouldn't budge, so rather than spend our first day on more meaningful adjustments our "advance pit crew" rebuilt bumpers that had been acceptable at Regional. Do you really want to risk the loss of valuable time like that?
