Here....mostly.
Why are they against TLCA rules for sanctioined events?

Just Curious.
 
8' whip tends to do just that...whip around....start boucing down the trail and I've seen the tips hit the ground on both sides of a rig, and it would be JUST as easy to tag a spectator in the eye.

All the clubs I've ever wheeled with have banned them too.

Whips suck. In fact I just took off the spring on the bottom of my 4 firestik antenna cause it would frequently get way too out of hand.
 
hmmm...good points, I guess it all depends on where it's located. Mine a 5ft whip and is mounted in the middle of the roof.
 
Is it magnetic? Its 5' above the top of the truck and it stays on? (lotsa brush around here)

Just stick with 4' fiberglass and your golden.
 
Nah, it's a roof mount with a hole drilled into the roof. I wouldn't have done it myself, but the PO was the one with the drill.
