Everyone is 'that Guy/Gal' when they first start racing and IMO no matter how many suggestions you get it'll take a couple of runs before any suggestions will even sink in (98+% of what anyone tells you will fly out the window when your getting ready to make your first run(s)). I suggest watching from the starting line and pay attention to how the good races do their burnouts and staging routine...

@NBSV1 2 жыл бұрын

Some of the race columns still have a collapsible section. But, if the car has a full cage and the column is properly mounted they tend to not move much. The factory ones need to be collapsible because the car is designed to crush a lot so the column can move much farther if it didn’t collapse.

rag joints haven't been around since the 80's and an aftermarket column alone isn't going to fix that. You can replace the steering shaft under the hood to solve that. I can see weight savings and the looks factor, but safety? Hard sell. Sure, love cleetus and James, but let's pump the brakes here on buying the coolaid
