Update on what Ive been up to lately. I have my $$$ sfi 15 Simpson fire suit now, Brainard enforces you to have one if you burn ethanol and run a turbo car quicker than 9.99.
I wanted a detachable steering wheel to make entry and exit of the car easier for safety and comfort. Searching was not easy, lots of misleading information from suppliers and forums. I also found out that NHRA requires SFI certified detach mechanisms and wheels. I didn't want to just replace the wheel, as I also realized that there was a weight savings opportunity. It ended up at 19 lbs for $250.00! I found the wheel here:

The sfi detach mechanism is from Stange. The wheel and detach are under 2 lbs!. I used 4130 Ύ shaft and turned an adaptor on my lathe out of 1018 material.
I need to get an alignment and some fresh e98. I'll be going to rock falls April 23rd.
