Larry, thanks for your input, and I think you are right about better equipment, experience, etc.

Motorhead, I'm not planning on running a non-wing sprint car anytime soon. I'm too old and broke. I was just curious about the construction of them. I have seen frames with different configurations around the roll cage area (specifically the support bar on what I would call the "B" post) and wondered if anybody knew why. I assume maybe it has to do with chassis flex, but I don't know. Good advice though to anyone thinking about getting in, to spend some time with a team for a year or so first.
