Breaking out on the Brakes!
Last two events I raced I've broke out by a tiny margin, .001 and .003. I couldn't figure out how this was happening because I would dial hard, stage deep, and be on the brakes at the line till it just hit me that my front air dam must be trippin the beams. Does anyone have any suggestions to prevent this? What about removing the air dam or shortening it?

Car will run hot on the street if u remove it. Our cars are "bottom feeders" when it comes to cooling air movement.

Yeah I would never remove for street driving. I have a bunch of different ides, one is to make a quick disconnect system to remove it when I get to the track.
