I'm out-of-town on a business trip this week (in Kansas City). When I get back I'll take some photos of the tab and how it's mounted to the air-dam.

FYI. The down-track timing cones (60ft, 330, 660, 1320, Etc.) are approimately 6" above the track surface. Therefore, any front body-part (in front of the front tires) that is 6", or lower will trip the down-track photo-electric cells.

For example; most Super-Comp dragsters have a nose that extends about 18" in front of the front tires and is about 2" off the surface. That nose will always trip the down-track timing.
