Re: pic: Bumper idea - legal?

This idea is pretty much what we did last year. It worked out great since we didn't have to fiddle with taking bumpers on and off. The changeover could be accomplished in a few seconds.

Re: pic: Bumper idea - legal?

It may be more effort to make bumpers using this design than it is to make 2 sets... but the amount of time saved in the pits changing bumpers is definitely worth it!

It only took one instance of showing up to staging with the wrong color showing to convince me of how awesome reversible bumpers are. 10 seconds later we were correct.

We're never going back to separate bumpers ever again.
