Occasionally I throw up some sparks and did ruin a pan last year.
Anyone running either a homemade one or Mancini's ?
Mancini web page has no info about theirs.
Thanks Mike

I swapped to the Milidon road race pan. But I have hurt one of those also. My car will pull a moon-shot if the track tightens up.

That's what I'm talking about. I run a Friday night street legal class and you never know what the track is gona give you.

Thanks OUTLAWSSAA. Do have the 2-1/2 in.? I have a 8 qt. Milodon pan. How do you install these bolt in or weld in?
Thanks Mike

I do have the 2 1/2 inch one on my car, and its welded on to the bottom of the K-frame.

My '69 Dart had a round tubular bar to prevent the pan from hitting. I never 'tested' it out but I always wondered if it would actually hurt the track surface on a hard landing.
