A picture is worth a thousand words, so here's one of a modern tube chassis. This is what we're referring to when we say "tube chassis". Jenkins' car was a back halved car with tubular components, but is was based upon a stock frame. I seriously doubt Roy Hill took Leal's antiquated Duster, stripped off all the body panels and remounted them on a tube chassis. A 12 point cage and a strut front end does not constitute a tube chassis. With due respect to the authors, don't quote an internet article that was written after the fact, or something you see in MCG. Articles are informative and entertaining, but unless it's a technical reference or comes diredtly from the source, it's not gospel. That being said, here's the bottom line: if you show up with a chassis, like what is shown in the attached drawing, with Duster body panels fastened to it, you'll be sent packing immediately. Era correct cars and era correct updates are what we're lookin for. Keep in mind, if you've ever seen Kev's '73 Missle, you know the car was cut hard, but it's still legal because it's not a tube chassis.
OK, time to man up. Who's going to race with us this year? Attach a photo of your car, whether it's finished or not.
