I thought Casey instructed that the war hammer or similar design was not acceptable after Nygren got hammered. I have to agree there should be specifications how you can build a front bumper then if it's decided this design is allowable then it's in the rule book as such and if this was a typical series that should be cut and dry. If you imagined for a minute the entire UTV class with these bumpers it could be a problem....
Jesus christ do any of you read the rules? There are bumper rules....our bumper meets the rules. The ends are capped and rounded to prevent sharp edges, it doesn't have any feature that would cause it to lock into another vehicles rear bumper...and it sticks out far enough past the front tires that we should not make tire contact with the rear tire of another racer.
