Datsun 1200 SCCA GTL Racecar
This is another example of updating an old racecar. There was no roll cage forward of the firewall. We wanted to stiffen up the strut towers and give some protection in case we took a BUMP in the front end. This design helps triangulate the front end for strength; also helps meet current safety requirements.
