Common Sense GT car rules revision!

[Angelo DiTocco]

What about this for a GT rule change?

The FWD conversions get to do a lot of cool front end mods.... I particularly like the fact that they have tube frame rails and tube control arms / tabs / heims/ etc... like a comp car. I'm sure it makes them a lot safer than if the factory k-frame and stamped control arms were used. There's also more room for headers, oil pan width etc.. I think it makes the cars a little easier to work on too.

Any way my question is this - -

I wonder if the NHRA tech dept would ever consider allowing a traditional RWD car to redo the front end in a similar manner. Eliminate the factory K-member and control arms & replace it with tube and mounts for tubular control arms. Maybe even eliminate the upper arm and replace the upright with a sanhuff strut. Firewall wouldn't be an issue. It would also save some weight. It is a radical idea, but it seems like the next logical step considering what the FwD conversions are allowed to do.

Thoughts? Opinions?
