as I recall this came up in the past year or two. The question as I remember
it was regarding the NHRA type roadsters that run in street class. They have
molded finders and are not of stock contour. I.E.: streamlining where they
flair into the body. I don't recall who made the statement, but is was made
regarding the attaching of the fenders to the body .I think Dan Warner needs
to address this as to the attachment and streamlining. I hope this helps,
and I hope I'm not wrong if so I am sorry.
