Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
It is in fact a race-able piece, however, she needs a pad added to the roll cage bar to the left of her head, rear firewall needs sealed and they were concerned with the seat being so high we may need to add more bracing at the top.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Tech thought along these lines, more so in the event of a backward crash, say into the wall, the top of the seat would need more support.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Rockingham was our last JD race, it's been a great 10 year run with many many great memories, we'll miss it dearly (not so much a few of the parents) but the ending was pretty sweet, winning the championship in the semis and the race with a great final round against an impressive racing family (the Wilsons).

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Congrats on the win, and for building an outstanding race car with that Nova. It was wise to take it to the track and have the tech team look at it before trying to enter it in competition. Also, why is it with kids and sports,be it soccer, basketball,Little League baseball or junior diggers, the kids are great,but the adults can't seem to stay in their place? I guess bad sportsmanship isn't instinctive, it's taught. Have a great year coming up !!

Great starting line photo looks like she's leaving on the last yellow too--- look at the wrinkle in the right slick---Great job on the build too now all we need is some more pix of the finished product ---after its been all put together---any problems with tech and if so what was "wrong"--FED 387

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Minor stuff considering you had it all torn apart ---couple hours and you'll be good to go looks great. Did they give you any points or did you just want to see if it would pass techFed 387

Yes, we got two GPs for making it through tech.
