And to Rich South - Best of luck with the new car - it looks like a 1st class piece.
I heard a "story" from a Stocker about his motor mount location this weekend I want there so I cannot attest to its accuracy, but he had a modified K member , and he was incorrect on his location, it was almost 1inch too far forward. HE was a stand up guy to bring it to the NHRA's attention. Class in my book.

NHRA Tech told him, as long as it wasnt a rearward location, and hence a competitive relocation it was OK.

He has since changed it to "legal" location, but for a guy to say "Hey I screwed up" Mia Culpa.....well........good deal.

Makes horse sense to me.

Cheers

Chris
