Is it just me, or is that rule a really good way to invite a lot of unneeded slippery fluids to the track surface?

So is not requiring a full fluid containment structure underneath the engine (think superbike/supersport series) and allowing non air cooled cars to run on track... ;)
 
yea, because power steering systems are ALWAYS blowing up on all the non maintained grocery getters running down the highways. And the hoses are very rigid and will crack in our high stress racing environment.

Listen, if there's a crash big enough to rip open a power steering system, there's a lot of other fluids on the ground already.
 
HOLY CRAP Christian!
That is a beautiful piece of work! Hats off to Conover.....
I am just starting my build and now I am jealous very jealous...lol SWEET
Bring her down here to Daytona I'd be more than happy to give ya a donut! ...lol kiddin bud
Great work!
O.B.
 
Thanks OB! Yes, the car has taken a bit longer than anticipated but it's lookin' GOOD. :cool:

Nice offer on the door donut but you'll have to catch me first! ;) Are you going to be racing while the new car is under construction? Any plans for the 09 Season?
 
UPDATE:

The car ran under it's own power today! Cameron got the fuel system, wiring, and brakes done up and got everything up and running without a single hiccup.

Here are a couple of pics of the interior and brake bias adjusters:

And, finally, the driver's floorboard:

That thing looks really nice, really nice fellows. I'm impressed! Still got a lot of work to do though - did you know the motor is hooked up to the wrong wheels?
 
Well, there are reasons for that....like Christian's car hasn't been raced yet!

Man, turn in with this thing is going to be unbelievable.
 
Christian, you know what I think, that thing is awesome. Well done, and props to Conover and his boys. Glad your ECU is mounted on studs above the floor. In rain races, I've seen little mice surfing 4" waves in my car over there.

Let me put my rules nerd hat on :blink: are those factory ECU mounting studs in the factory ECU mounting location? One would tend to think that would get in the way of a passengers foot in a street car... rules nerd hat off :p I like the touch, makes sense.

Unfortunately the ECU location is necessitated by the roll cage... one of the forward attachment points interferes with the stock ECU mount.
