This why it is perfect formaly state this. Less confusion in the rules. In fact I have a 83 manual steering tub. I need to see if they even had that bracket in the tub.

My 83 manual steering car had the power steering reservoir bracket. And I cut it off when installing my oil cooler sandwich plate.

I also cut out the back of my foglight because I thought everyone already did this.


One to add, maybe:Has it ever been discussed to allow the early cars with the gap around the front windshield frame to be able to fill this in so that it is smooth and flush with the glass, either with say expanding foam or just racer tape.

The later cars have a flush mounted windshield that is probably more aero than the early cars. Just a thought. Would cost nothing to do this for an owner.

Stock the early cars have a trim section that covers the gap. The windshield is not flush, but there is no gap.Here is a picture of my 84 chassis.

Upgrade radiator fans to 6 blade or aftermarket fans (early 3 blade fans aren't the best). This modification won't help with any performance just give us options to have the car run cooler.

I like the pump gas rule. instead of testing fuel, just state the a competitor may be required to buy & run pump gas provided by the series director.

I would like an allowance to be able to weld in small jack plates - these get beat up quite a bit in a race car setting.

I like that idea, although there would have to be a weight or size maximum so they don't end up getting used for unintended purposes, such as ballast. The reason my rockers are a bit deformed is because we learned where the jack points aren't located on these cars, back during our first season. I've seen the actual jack points physically deformed and of questionable integrity/safety on a few cars too, so repair and reinforcement could be useful.
