the front body post you see is the 5th body post usualy mounted near the windshield. prevents body compression during high speeds... alot of Japanese drivers do this..

pheyhoe

ahhh, rite. learn somthing new everyday. unfortunately there is no point in me doing that because i cant keep the thing straight long enough to reach those speeds.

But, i can see the logic.

Oh that's good to know, body compression during high speeds has been one of my biggest problems

It will also keep the front wheel wells from cracking from when the car lands upside down. All that flexing cracks the upper middle part of them.

punkboy

this is true, its a trick i learned a while back in oval...i needed that extra strength

90% of oval racwers run 5 posts.... if u dont the hood compresses, and the wheels rub....
