Has been absolutely awesome following the build. I cannot wait to see the results.
Thanks again for your (and Charlies) advice awhile back while I was starting building my new motor.
Success on the flats!

Tim, I hope you have Nomex underware to cover the gap between your jacket and pants!  It looks like your back could be exposed in an emergency. One thing I just noticed although it might be left over tech from the 50's and 60's dirt tracks. We always welded ends or caps on the tubing in the cockpit so there were no open ends exposed (I noticed the ones behind your extingusher tanks). No matter how removed thay may be if you really get tossed around contact with an open pipe end can do some damage. Chuck, the jacket does overlap the pants but my butt wont keep the pants up.  I may have to get suspenders. I never really thought of covering the ends on the bottle supports, although it would give it a more finished look I think if my body comes into contact with that area I'm pretty well tore up by then. lol
 God Bless.  Tim http://yblockguy.com/

Bill's half right, if you look close there is gasket sticking out.

I really didn't think those pipes would be a problem but couldn't tell if there were any others. I've seen some really solid looking cages that passed tech but had a serious design oversight or safety flaw in them. With the way you've the truck I think you've got it right but it's always good to have second and even third opinions. Once saw a guy on the dirt track, back when cages and real helmets didn't really exist. Showed up with a set of aircraft seat belts (thats what we had then). Everything looked super, great idea wow etc. He hit the wall headon. When they got to the car he was dead! Helmet had hit the front of his window bar. Turns out his new seat belts went over the seat and down to the seat mounting rail at the bottom. Instead of holding him down they allowed him to pitch forward and hit his head. That was in the late 50's. All of us in the Kansas City area learned a permanent lesson about where to fasten the sholder straps behind the driver. Now its policy and seems totaly logical. But someone had to die first before we saw it. Sorry to ramble. I'm sure your safe just making a point I guess. Chuck in NH

this time with the helmet on.
I had a little trouble with the latch across my chest for the head and neck restraint, I know I can do it in less than 20 sec.

It's good to know that sfi 3.2A/15 TPP value 60 gives you 30 seconds of protection against 2nd degree burns. Keep practicing, you have 5 seconds left now . How about if you are upside down and a little confused. Try that after six to ten beers and after half an hour waiting time... Sure would like to see that from youtube  .

I don't think they will make us drink six to ten beers and flip our vehicle just to demonstrate a bail out but I'd pay a dollar to see that.

Great Tim, now you have 15 seconds to hassle ! So if you'd be drunk as a man can be, you'd survive! Sfi 3.2A/20 is TTP 80 value and gives 40 seconds to survive without 2nd degree (Charlie) Burns  .
