Are you saying that SCTA roll bar specs are better than NHRA? Maybe I should cut out half my roll bars and funny car cage.
I think what I'm saying is pretty clear but just to be crystal clear, no, that's not what I'm saying. The specs are different and they're different for a reason.
You guys really do think you know more
Yup, I'm pretty sure that the SCTA head tech and all the SCTA tech inspectors do know more about the unique characteristics of land speed racing than the NHRA guys do. I'm also willing to bet that the NHRA guys know more about quarter miler stuff than us land speed racers know. After all, they are two completely different types of racing that take place in entirely different environments.
And you call me ignorant. Look up Chris Alston Chassisworks and there 8.90 sec chassis and compare.
Based on your first comment, I could have only presumed that you're either ignorant or that you were being facetious (which is exactly what I said). Saying that Steve hasn't seen a pro-built cage before is pretty ignorant considering that he's a chassis builder. It's what he does for a living! If you didn't know that, well, now you do. And if you did know that, then you were being facetious which seems to be your MO.
If you came to El Mirage more than once a year you might have a chance to check out some of his stuff. I know your Alstons #1 fan but I think you'd be impressed with Kiwi's work.
