Default NDRA Rules question: Is a front bumper needed for the PRO AM classes

Im wondering if You would need a front bumper to run PRO AM FWD/PRO AM RWD?
Or is the car gonna be stuck in bracket racing? Just out of utter curiousity

HOLLA

Thats a damn good question. I was wondering the same thing, I know I was allowes to run grudge night with no front bumper, but I'm wondering if they'll let me run an event without one.

are you talking about IDRC or NDRA? If you are talking about NDRA, I would be very inclined to say that you would be required to have one

IDRC, im not as familiar with, but I would still lean towards having to have one for a professional look

The complete bumper? Or just part of the bumper?
Mine has about 1/2" of material left going across the middle.... just enough to attach the intercooler.

Correct.....NDRA requires the bumper cover to be attached to the vehicle, but the actual steel bumper is not required. I had Paul Brandner, NDRA's tech director, clarify this before I removed my bumpers this year.

Later,
