I can appreciate the affects of minor surgery. My wife recently had an arthroscopy on her knee and two days later wound up an hour from death with three major pulmunary embolisims. Hopefully you are recovering well and back on the road to full productivity and don't have the tremendously bad luck of my other half.

Good build by the way. And you said crotch strap, f'nar f'nar...

This is a most interesting thread. Thanks for sharing the information, I'm looking forward to the bit where you put it all together again!

Bit puzzled by why, when you've gone to all that trouble to save weight by drilling holes all over the place, you then negate all that effort by welding big bits of heavy tubing back in.

Regulations for the series we are entering, driver safety, improved chassis rigidity, handling and overall performance of the car on track???!!!

It'd bend like a banana on track if we didnt put a cage in it with all the metal thats already out and the metal thats yet to be taken out.....!!!

Are we having a change of heart?

Somebody once said to me that the reason red cars get pulled over on the roads more frequently that any other is because they look like they are going faster than they actually are travelling.
Red it is then
