the debate is between two parties...one say that the extra bolts form triangulation which is not allowed, however, many people run it because it is considered the safest in underbody bracing and has little effect more than a normal tie bar (which has two points of attachment)...there in essence lies the issue, is the ASR brace designed to increase stiffness in more than one axis? Either way, people run them in STS in my area as well and since I'm not super competetive, I don't feel too bad running it in STS, especially when other people in the area already have been for a while...and more than one.

 

Let me rephrase, "its legality has been highly debated."

I think the part in bold is what people had an issue with. That's from the 07 rulebook. I seem to recall something changing after that but I'm not about to sort through 8 months of FasTrack updates to find it.

 

Thanks for the heads up and the quote. I think I'm still going to run it do to the fact that the people in my area have no issue with it and others run it as well. If it ever gets contested, I'll see what to do then.

 

u should be alright running with it. not untill u start winning consistantly will someone protest it lol.

 

Haha true, but even then I don't know, cuz other people run it like I said earlier. And it's not so much disallowed, as debated. Oh and I'll see if I can find the linnk, but there's already a proposed rule change to clarify the rules allowing them next year.

Also, I found this and wrote an email
