I was trying to run my car at Sonoma on a Wednesday night, but my car has shaved doors. While I realize that this will not officially pass NHRA tech, what are the chances they will overlook it and let me run my bucket?

Thanks for the insight!

All you can do is try. Can you rig some sort of temporary cable up that will stick out of the weather stripping and allow the door to be opened from the outside? Both doors will need to be configured this way.

I have seen that type of release before; maybe worth my time to rig up. It is not a drag car, otherwise I wouldn't have shaved the doors. I just want some time slips on the combo. Thanks!
