on an oval track car we normally run a small bar from the bottom of the front down tube to the frame exactly where your foot would hit if you move your leg sideways, once padded it stops the bottom of the leg from wrapping around the upright bar, and saves lower leg fractures and broken ankles. Food for thought, incase you go into the wall sideways at high mph. I swear by them in every car I race. ---

> [@Clean Baldy](#): > > Carbon fiber front and rear fenders as well? Do they make em? They make them, but really the fenders don’t weigh a thing… if anything I’d go with carbon doors now that we have a cage. :naughty: And, Aaron, I didn’t think about that, but in that one picture, it does look pretty insignificant compared to the turbo.
