I'm all for the least amount of body work possible.
I love seeing the driver and the basic outline of a sprintcar.
Also have any of you guys ever worked on a dirt modified ? We would probly have and race a n.e. mod if it weren't for the insane body. Its just a huge pain in the butt compared to a sprintcar and almost makes in mandatory to have a crew.
Theres kinda a comparision that can be made between the awesome mid sixty mods compared to the new cars and Sprintcars compared to winged cars. The old bigblocks I worked on had the most simplistic bodies and the hugest engines, weighting in as light as 1500lbs. They dominated the heavy factory cars till they were ruled out of existence.
If you feel you need body parts to keep you safe your in the wrong sport anyhow. Never saw a piece of tin that would stop a wood post. Stop trying to over protect everyone. Reminds me of my government, all the things I cant do because of people that don't know me are trying to hold my hand and lead me to safety, lol.
