..also noticed, with the seat forward, it looks like the door bar is no longer between the elbow and shoulder? (Maybe it's just the camera angle).


Nice work though.

Just saw the car very nice work. love watching the build. your daughter autumn and you have a very nice ride there. it was nice seeing her too. I think you can take the tape off the roll cage now. Lol and I see why the seat needs to be so far forward, boy she is a tiny thing! good luck and I wish you guys were able to run it this weekend, sure would like to have seen it run.

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.

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).
