Front Engine Dragster

Driver Position Modifications

The driver required more helmet to hoop clearance.  The chassis and seat were both modified to get the driver sitting as low as possible.

·       Parachute mount cross member was cut out and a new drop tube crossmember was fabricated and installed.

·       Existing parachute mounting tabs were reinstalled on the new drop crossmember

·       Two tube braces were added for additional support

·       The existing belly pan was modified to accommodate the new drop crossmember

·       Alloy closing panels fabricated to conceal the new dropped driver compartment

·       The seat was modified by removing the existing seat base and fabricating a new extended seat base which allowed the driver to sit lower down
