You are subjecting your work to the ultimate proving grounds for sure. The last thing that you are thinking of in that canopy is letting off!! Its only a matter of time before you will become a fixture at each race with a mobile fab shop for Saturday night emergencies. Its pretty amazing to see some the repairs that take place throughout the week in Key West (mostly on a dirt parking lot with a pop up tents and flash lights).

Any durability doubts put to rest when it stands up to that abuse.

Looking at a modern Top Fuel team , I see one old *&^%$#%^ that knows no other life and a half a dozen spike hair , full sleeved twenty somethings that all run around like they just chased their 5 hr energy with a Monster double whammy drink ...
Having lived the gipsy life for a while , I have went 180* and fallen prey to the air conditioned , cable TV , stocked fridge , shop .
I guess I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up ...
Chaz = rememberin back in the 70's when everybody wanted to get a bottom floor motel room during bike week in Daytona ... great place for a rebuild ..

Yes sir it's cut just in front of the little triangle steering stop guy and then put in a lathe and turned until there is a nice radius across the front .
Every little bit adds up . I never weighed the front tab , but it's an easy 3 - 4 lbs each .
If nothing else , I think they look better that way ...
