Sammy, now that makes sence to pressurize the tubes and have a gauge like Andy just mentioned. If a crack developed, then the pressure would leak out and the gauge would reviel that problem.
But just pressurizing a chassis isnn't going to make it lighter. They used helium because it was lighter than air, not because it made the chassis lighter. Thanks for the input Andy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) , I wish i was alive when all this racing went down... truly and era of fast Gods and the ability to stand 5 ft from them while doing 200+mph. |
