 Safety, as always, will be...  Safety, as always, will be at the top of our list of necessities for this car. Our inspection noted that the team will install, similar to the other team car shown, an up-to-date racing seat with head restraints as well as current seat belts, fire suppression system, and padding. Dan will wear a Hans device head-and-neck restraint. |  Team members Josh Bach (left),...  Team members Josh Bach (left), Craig Burns (bottom), and Ray Fallin (top) install a fireproof heat shield around the foot box to isolate the header heat from the leg and foot of the driver. This also helps prevent flames from encroaching into the driver's compartment should an oil fire or similar occur. |  Just as we see on the team's...  Just as we see on the team's other car, the local rules require a steel plate cover to be placed on the sides and back of the fuel cell. This helps to prevent a puncture of the cell from the bumper bars or other pieces during a crash. Tech inspectors take note. This must have been a problem in the past. |
 The right side crash bars...  The right side crash bars and the fuel cell bumper bars are designed to be easily removable on this car. This enables quick replacement should a problem occur between heat races or during practice. Spare sections can be built and kept on hand. |  These pieces are designed...  These pieces are designed to crush and absorb energy so the main chassis structure will remain unaffected in a crash. |  The drivers seating area is...  The drivers seating area is surrounded by steel sheeting and bracing. Note the plated door bars and along the right side of the seat area to prevent incursion. We were impressed with the thought that went into this chassis not only for the performance technology, but from a safety standpoint too. |
