Critical Safety Equipment Stiff Chassis
Critical Safety Equipment - Race Car Safety
This is an example of a stiffly designed chassis. There's very little angle formed when the main rail extends forward from the firewall. This causes the front chassis to be very stiff and not absorb much energy in a crash. Cars built similar to this were a cause of injuries and fatalities in the late 1980s in the Northeast Modified series.
