Just sent an email off to Rich (tech guy). Trying to figure out the best place to put the crossmember I need to wrap up the IHRA chassis tech.
Oh, BTW Mike, I think the reason he's requiring this crossmember is because my feet extend beyond the forwardmost part of the winshield/roof bar. Since I've decided to go with aluminum seats I think my feet will be back further, but still will extend beyond the bar just a tad. If I sit in the caa up against the funny caa cage with no seat @ all my feet are in line with the bar, so I don't see me fixin' the problem by just moving back. Don't want my knees under my chin.
If I put the bar where he and i talked about it would have to go under the trans pan, which means about 2" ground clearance

I photochopped a few different alternatives and sent them off to Rich. Hopefully we can come up with a simple solution that he will be O.K. with.
The bar in question is the one the "Nitrous Bottles" are holding' up in the above pic.
