Think I said this LAST year!
You can measure the opening in a carburetor, bore & stroke, put a template on a car, all evenly, but this is nothing other than absurd.
I want to know how they are going to police it evenly and fairly. How can so many different people (the NASCAR spotters) apply a rule like this one objectively? Someone is going to get ripped off here while others will skate for a more aggregious hit.
Like others said, get rid of the plates!
