Everyone appreciates constructive discussions and differences of opinion. As long as it stays constructive. BTW.....Personally........I respect your input and obviously your experience.
There was no intention to make any chassis illegal. It was decided that the chain must pass inside the main frame rails at the motor plate area where the upright for the roll cage usually connects. Pretty simple. If someone wants to deviate and press the intent of the rule from there............knock yourself out. Just know that somewhere a tech man that "understands" the true intend of the rule might hammer your a$$ if your obvious intentions are WAY OUTSIDE THE BOX. This is why EVERYTHING is subject to review. Racers are racers......always experimenting or selling the gimmick of the week.

I can see where the rule fits. I was going to sneak a 1000cc in a midget and run the chain just on the outside of the frame so my seat was centered in there. It measured the center / center exactly at 6"....... I like that common ground has been reached and it seems all parties involved are still willing to negotiate collectively towards a common goal.
