ATTN SRAC members- Beam Breakers in STK & SS - Legal or not?

Looks legal to me according to the rules. The Finnish line I believe is 12 inches above the racing surface. The stripe taker needs to be at that height at speed.

For what it's worth.
Standard timing equipment beam placement

Height of staging beams approximately 1 9/16"
Height of 60" beam - 10"
Height of interval time beams, speed trap beams, and ET stop beam - all 5"

Why doesn?t someone contact Lonnie Grimm and get it clarified instead of debating each others brains our here?!

Because Lonnie and Pat were approached about it while in Vegas and it was deemed LEGAL according to them....

I guess my good friend Toby Lang was correct when he told me 25 years ago that we are ( ) Racing 99 percent of the time …..
