In the next year I plan on building a small streamliner. My understanding from reading the rule book is that I can build the frame/rollcage from 1 5/8 .120 thick DOM steel tubing. Is this correct? T

Generally the extra weight of the larger tubing isn't a problem with LSR as it would be in drag racing. And the added security of the larger material may well be worth the slight extra cost. Hey the

Good point, worthy of further discussion, but I bet if you weigh some of these Scooter Streamliners their a tad over 500kg. John Beckett, LSR #79 1.625, bends thickness, <land-speed@autox.team.net>

Your right, several of the small streamliner folks have been willing to share some information with me. Seems most weigh 1200-1400 pounds, without driver. 1 5/8 --.120 wall weighs 1.85 pounds per fo

You are correct about the added tubing and bring up a good point about the motorcycles. Skip, this sounds like another one for the rules committee to look at, add it to the list. Mike Manghelli SCTA

When you see the results of the forces some of these cages and frames are subjected to in an "incident" the question is not just is the tubing strong enough but is the bracing and welding up to abso

You are correct about forces and the strength of the tubing. I have seen some welds that scare me and as an inspector have mentioned it to the competitor, normally all you get is "that stupid #$%^@*

The Salt Sonnet held up well, for a crash at 200 mph and the way it crashed. Remember the speed and way that a car crashes is very important. The sonnet lifted the front and kind of rolled over, it
