Re: Dixon Suspension
Steve, how the driver cockpit ties into the passenger cockpit is definitely not standard construction. I would seriosly think it needed to be reviewed and approved by SFI and a cert issued. Dixon knew this as he had computer modeling done prior to any modifications. Also the wheelbase is obviously stretched beyond 300" as it was originally Bob Vandergriffs old Hadman car, modified by McKinney, not all brand new pipe.
As far as his lifetime suspension, I don't believe that will be upheld. Kiss and make up and swept under the rug. NHRA will want a piece of this $$$
Maybe NHRA saw the video of Larry making passes with a passenger at an IHRA track, also he was scolded by NHRA earlier this year for promoting an IHRA race on the side of his dragster, and lastly, now he has Traxxas plastered on the side of this car... $$$. Is Larry friends with Mike Dunn??? NHRA Brass worried Larry will take Traxxas and his circuis act to the other circuis?? Don't know and don't care. I go to the races to race, not put the show on
