If its what I THINK, it is it was the use of a crossmember in the car, not legal......and it needs to be changed.
I asked about doing this on our next build and was told by the NHRA ...... what you did on the first one is APPROVED, anything else is not.
So I asked the only thing that was important (to us) "So basically do what we did again and follow Mike P's design, and let the other guys who are doing basically trick stuff, that Id like to do worry about themselves ?" ........"The design by Mike P, the One that is in the DP manual is what was approved, that is the one that was approved nothing else"
Cant say we didnt try either......I "assumed" that Coughlin and Holt wouldnt have done something that wasnt kosher......I mean the quaility of the builder and the knowledge in Coughlins corner....I mean whoda thunk.
Johns Chassis is "By the Book" litterally.....if you look in the book its I would say Identical for all intents and purposes....done by MPR the ones who worked and reworked and helped build something legal.
But thats on that, we saw that coming, I am wondering about any other items that may help/hurt us on our first tech through if anyone has particulars. Anything, knowledge is always a good thing.....

... same as last week in Vegas. Rumor circulating in pits that there is a problem in rear suspension and he will not be racing next week in Phoenix! Allegedly they compared his car to Johns and found a discrepancy ..... Just an unconfirmed rumor and you did not hear it from me.  |
