I was wondering. Since you need door handles to goto a track and you shaved them already... Anyone here think it is possible to modify my old door handles to be magnetic on the back side. So I can sorta cheat my way to the track? Anyone?

 

I've never seen magnetic door handles before...why would any company market them?

That said, there is a very good reason they require door handles on the car to race.

 

magnet door handles... lol



i'm not sure what type of inspections you go through but out this way if your just racing for fun and don't have a very fast car say 13's or higher i wouldn't worry about it. if your racing a fast car you should have handles so you don't burn up if something does happen. things are there for your safety. if your building a show car/crusier shave your handles. leave it if your racing.

 

I meant to fabricate them with magnetic strips on back. I'm building my car for more street than strip. I may goto the track maybe once or twice a yr...

 

i wouldn't worry about it then, unless you were going to compete in a registered class most places will let you make a few runs.

 

How would that even work. Its has to go through the door to do whatever it does.

 

he means to make fake ones that just look like they're functional. Like a roof scoop on a civic.

 

 

Haha, that has got to be the funniest reply I read today.

 

I thought that's what he meant until he replied to Durtybird. I think we all understood what he meant by having fake door handles.

 

Would kinda bite if it fell off half way down the track...
Better get speaker magnets...

 

If you do a search you will find some guy who was telling us about how he tricked his buddies doing that after he shaved the handles. Dont see why not but it is unsafe and you could get in trouble if they want door handles and figure out you were trying to cheat them.

 

Make your own.

 

does it have to be a door handle? if you shave the handles, cant you just have like a wire or something that you can pull to open the door?
