I don't know if it was or not but I am inclined to think that it wasn't because he had waited until the last minute to get the new roll bar installed. If I remember correctly Lew picked his car up from the welder at the beginning of the week and had it at Road America the following Thursday.

Most of the tracks we have been to since his install (Road America, Omaha, Tulsa, St. Louis' Gateway and Nashville) are what I consider high speed tracks ie: that most of the dives into corners are made coming out of 4th gear and into 3rd. Only two tracks (Tulsa' Hallett and St. Louis Gateway) have corners requiring shifting ino 2nd gear.

Since I posted this message I have been told that the jig used to layout the frame on Lews car was a series of chalk marks on the concrete at that time. Lews Cobra was built in the early 90's.
