Re: Brainstorm: Improving the FRC bumper rules

Billfred, you know my opinion, the best fix to the bumper rules would be scraping them and letting us run without them. But we know that ain't gonna happen.

Plywood is perfect for bumper material, it is relatively cheap, easy to work with, and widely available. If we could find something to replace the pool noodles that was as cheap and available I would be happier. Buying pool noodles in MI in winter is rough.
