I have my door handles and locks shaved and did not realize the drag racing problem until after it was done. What happens if you do have door handles but you lock your doors? In that case some one will have to reach in the car to get the door open anyway or is there a rule about not locking your doors as well? If you have on your seatbelt again someone has to unhook it for you to get out of the car as well. I say it is profiling and unfair to not let me race because I did not think ahead and check it out before I modified the car. Well not really but I do feel bad that I screwed up and can’t race but I am sure it makes the wife happy!
