What's the drag racing rules on fenders/hoods/bumpers? I got into an accident..
 
so i get knicked in the front a few days ago. i'm REALLY not happy about it, with the big high school drags coming up next friday. i replaced all of the front suspension components except the shocks/coilovers, since they were the only things not bent, so at least it drives straight. but I wanted to know if it was ok to race down the track without fenders, bumper (cover at least), and a hood. my hood is alright, just the hinges are bent, but my fenders and bumper cover are gone, and will need to be replaced. once i got the suspension ---- fixed we had to pound out my driver fender so the wheel could actually turn. right after the accident though my wheel had a good 45* negative camber, and some serious wheel tuckage.

here's how she's driving now.. get off me on the duct tape, it's supporting the bumper cover- not holding on the hood. i don't give a ---- how it looks, it drives straight and if i can im runnin at the drags.

I doubt they'll let you on the track like that. I'm almost completely sure they won't.

it's considered my fault because i was entering traffic :l and whether it would or not, telling my insurance i was in an accident would probably get us dropped. mom was in an accident that almost considered her 02 civic totalled just like 6 months ago
