Well said mate I agree... In reality you cant compare Rob's full chassis car to a VL with a back half in it... its two different things.....I take my hat off to Rajabs they keep crunching the numbers and to see a Back half car go 7's is damn impressive....I remember CAL-400 wanted to be the first back half car in the 6's... it never got there... those chassis designs have their limits its good to see Rajabs pushing the envelope...... no doubt Rob will achieve his goal more than likey in less race time than the others although the car would weigh substantially less and is a far superior chassis design.........
