When you are attaching a wooden bumper to your car, **DO NOT USE SCREWS**. When your bumper breaks or falls off, it may have screws sticking out of it. This is bad for tires and people! Use bolts instead. They are less stabby. As a general rule of thumb, your bumpers are supposed to be not stabby, but especially not stabby for the barricades that line the race track. | When you are attaching a wooden bumper to your car, **DO NOT USE SCREWS**.

- | Cartastrophe has pretty much treated their front wooden bumper as a consumable item, and replaces it all the time. This seems to be a good approach. Cartastrophe says: "We have 4 bolts to hold on the 2x4. A new bumper is always just a matter of 1 cut, and 4 hole drills." | + | Cartastrophe has pretty much treated their front wooden bumper as a consumable item, and replaces it all the time.

Basically you want rounded and/or breakable bumpers that will not harm things (most importantly the barricades) and/or people. | Basically you want rounded and/or breakable bumpers that will not harm things (most importantly the barricades) and/or people. |
