Ingenuity is still allowed in most areas. The problem is that the jeanie is out of the bottle, and any successful mechanic, fabricator or driver is very familiar with handling dynamics. In years past, those were pretty fuzzy concepts to most racers, and the result was a wide variety of home-built stuff that ranged from genius to junk!
As much as we would like to see home-made super modifieds, it aint gonna happen. Professional chassis manufacturers would instantly take over, and everyone would have similar stuff.
Go see some vintage racing and you'll appreciate the craftsmanship on some of those non-cookie cutter cars.Comment
