I know there are certain restrictions with some of the race organizations.
Who and what are they? What are the penalties? Why shouldn't i tie the shock towers into the cage? Will it work going *under* the engine lid? Or do i need the angle from up high to be effective? What about the front? And how about a removable petty bar? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

The POC used to count through bulkhead bracing as 1 point but they've done away with that point in the interest of safety. It will still bump you up into the V classes (but so does flares) which requires more safety equipment but it's free now. They only run up in the bay area once or twice a year so it may not mean anything to you. As Andy's pictures show, triangles are good. If you look at the pictures of the 917 chassis or any of the tube frame chassis you'll see nothing but triangles.
The nascar boys just use big huge square hunks of iron, but triangles of tubes are lighter and stronger. |
