Ultra Lightweight Festiva?

While surfing around looking for ways to make RED, my drag racer under construction, I came across this video. It's pretty scary!

I don't know if I have the info right, but here is what I copied from the site:

POV Extremely Cut Up all Motor Cars (Must Watch) Drag Racing

It is definitely worth watching, just to see what they have done to the cars - one of which looks like a Festiva.

I'd like to see someone get that past a tech inspection here lol.

As long as the roll cage is approved, the engine has all the proper sfi parts on and around it and the driver has proper safety gear, I don't see a problem passing tech. It's a whole lot safer than a drag rail, and those pass NHRA tech all the time (with a 7000HP blown nitro big block right behind the driver...yikes.)

Now, the dudes giving the car a little push start would not fly here in the states though. Lol

That's what I'm talking about! You'll need some composite panels though. I don't think the factory sheet metal will hold up unsupported like that.
