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.

Kevin,

If more teams posted to the Q&A about rules which are silly, contradictory, wrong and/or not in the best interests of the teams, I would imagine that all of our lives will get easier come competition time.

Best of luck to you and your team...

Mike
