Very nice man, car is looking good. That crash bar looks great, well thought out, well engineered.

The weight savings is going to help alot when racing. With a mini battery, that is about 80 lbs. off the front. WOW!

Indeed, however i still DD the car with lots of electronics so i'm not gonna swap out the battery yet. I'm not reloacting it to the trunk either because of the fuel cell that might occupy that space later on. However we are engineering some more aero work and brake cooling in the VERY near future to assist with the downforce we just added

I interpret that mod to be legal in my class--as the only difference would be the materials, and nothing is being removed/deleted.

Things get really touchy @ the National level
