I second JD thoughts of a very stiff rigid frame, for LSR---I put a "strong back" uppe frame back from the push bar at the back of  my car to just behind the cage with removable bars over the eng bay---much stiffer torsonial and vert that and the new hubs and narrowed rear axel---my car didnt hunt this year.--- :-)

Could someone please post pictures of a funny car type cage (neck/head protection) as I'm going to modify my cage/seat for next year. Thanks, Paul.

Try here for some ideas - http://www.alstonracing.com/gallery.html

Also here are some photos that might help.  I have no idea if they are legal, appropriate, safe, etc.
