In the light of this last weekends events at Daytona I have a question to
ask the list . Is it a disadvantage to wear a full face helmet in Nascar?
With all of the deaths coming from head and neck injuries why not require
full face and neck collars like many other sports are now over a certain
mph. I know its hot but the indy and f1 guys do it for about the same
duration of race.
Just a thought

Hmmmm - had to go for two out of three flips huh?
I think you already knew you wanted an LSR car,
you just had to get a little assurance there. ha

Well, that big poncho mill will put you right in
the middle of "B" engine classification, giving
away 39" to begin with, but don't let that bother
you till you see how you do. There are lots of
david and goliath & jack the giant slayers out
there that go mucho fast with smaller motors.
Be sure and get a rule book before you do
anything to that car. It's really easy to make a
simple mod that you later learn is not legal for
your selected class, then its a real bear to
undo.
Welcome to the list and good luck with your
project. Don't hesitate to ask every little
question as you progress - there are many guys on
this list who are the legends and experts.
