Was it my imagination or did it look like the nose of the car body tripped the beams and not the front wheels. Same with Funny Car.

Sorry if I took a little detour on this thread.

I'm pretty sure that finish line beams tend to be more than 3" off the ground. There was some rule changes a while back in Pro Stock because some bodies had an advantage with a longer front overhang. Then there's always the "crown" in the track, rubber build-up, etc.
