Couple of things here. I loved the original and I really like this car.
I also like Joe's ability to avoid the mud too, he has elected not to join the argument about the cage. I can see where they are coming from, even though my choice would be different,
There is the argument that you'd be crazy not to do the latest thing....there is also a relevant argument about risk management. There are some classes that have far greater risk, the level to which that risk is abated is up to the builder/driver.
Is it more foolish to build this car that may run in the 180's or even low 200's than it is to ride a sit on bike capable of 240+
?? Are they going to CFD model the car? , is it going to want to get on it's roof like a NASCAR?
I dunno.
Keep posting Joe, it's a beautiful thing.
