[QUOTE="CHASMAN9, post: 165787, member: 307"] Take my Bruiser chassis for example, look at how the lower part of the chassis is squared up with the overhead tubing. IN my opinion, this creates a square box which is structurally safe and allows for more room, but does not allow for a continuous barrel roll. Per say, on a Jimmy Smith chassis, the overhead tubing is closer into the middle of the chassis creating more of a barrel affect. The wheels are still squared up and I have no answer for that, I have just noticed watching guys that are running these high speed running machines, that they seem to end up back on their tires, most of the time. My Bruiser is very square and would not respond like that. I watched Bobby Tanner in his Coleworx buggy run Balls Hill at Aetna this winter and he rolled on 5 differnet attempts, and [b]LANDED ON HIS TIRES EVERYTIME[/b]. (Except when he landed on Mr. Bacon, lol) THAT"S CONFIDENCE IN HIS RIG. He is not afraid of rolling over and better than 75% of the time, he is back on his tires. This is just an example and my observation and no reference to which builder is better. .02 [/QUOTE]
