> I have heard many solid racecar guys in the paddock say that “you should be able to stand on your front lip”. While this sounds redneckish, its pretty accurate. If you want something that will work you do not want it to deflect at all with 100+ pounds of force. In most of the setups that I have used or seen, bracing and mounting seems to be almost as important as the material. Pics of area where its to be used may help some people here generate good ideas for you.

It’s going on the honda, I’m creating an entire setup that will support it for track use with a few variations for me to try out once I can drive consistently enough to be able to judge it.

I picked up 3/8 and 1/2 inch ABS sheets, but I really think that if I can find some other microfluted plastics it would work better. Material companys are making almost everything with microflutes now and its available is polymers and thicknesses that offer significantly more durability than what people think of for typical “sign board”

May was real busy so I haven’t been able to get back to this project yet. I will soon and will add more info here when I do.
