I did not understand that from the rule write up, but I might not have been reading well (in a perma-pissed-off mood this week). Sounds like that would mean a standard width beam would work with dropped spindles, as the spindles move, no? I could add 2" wider fenders, which would fall under the "fender flare" rule, and have the tire clearance I need (I'm currently tucking wheel

)
Still, I'd have to add 500+ lbs of ballast to meet the minimum weight qualification, that just isn't possible.
I was pretty much hoping to actually use the car at some point - I put 30 miles on it this year - from Spanish Springs to A&W for the Hot August Nights cruise night, then back home. Also didn't want to beat up on the WRX any more than I need to. Guess that's not gonna happen, and I might as well sell it with the bike and Jeep, swap the WRX's DP to a catted version, and call it a day.
