Re: legality of bolt and screw heads breaking plane of chassis meeting bumpers

Mike,

I definitely do not envy the role of inspectors this year, especially after doing "preliminary inspections" at a pre-ship event. I fully understand the role/position the inspectors are put in, and arguing the sensibility of a rule that the inspector neither made nor has the authority to change is a waste of my time and theirs.

I plan to post a Q&A to see if teams can get a clarification on the tolerance of the full width support, but I am not particularly hopeful for a clear, unambiguous answer.

We will be ready to make that tiny gap disappear if necessary to pass inspection on Thursday, and we certainly won't be complaining to the inspectors who donate their time to help us compete if we are required to do so.
