Kevin -- Thank YOU for hosting the evening.. your 10th year in business and the 1st Annual open house -- isn't that what you referred it as? Your shop is awesome and 1st class -- very impressive! The group of people who attended were all friendly, and the movies and food was most appreciated.
Jimi's presentation on the USCA (Ultimate Street Car Association) racing series was excellent!!! I hope to attend a couple events (Road America, Michigan Int'l and Gateway/StLouis are possibilities, even if its just to watch the wknd's events).
AND... your Valient is on its way to be one of THE fastest USCA cars in the country... best that its a MOPAR .. or no car!
Thanks for your advice on potential future work on my Challenger - I know you're an expert is such chassis work. I'll see you again, soon!

Just a question, looking over your partially installed cage, I noticed over the past few years SCCA? rules now state the main roll bar diagonal should be a one piece tube, and the horizontal harness tube is OK as two pieces, I have done it in the past like you did, any comments, and why would it really matter much anyway?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I believe it the forces on the roolbar in a rollover that you want the diagonal tube to be the solid one, the sanctions here always had the diagonal tube as one piece no the other way around.

SCCA I believe makes provisions to protect a driver in the event of being run into by another car. There are a lot of different situations that can come up in a road race that are no issue in drags.
Mopar to the bone!!!
