One of the many non-obvious advantages of mild steel tubing is it's ability to absorb loads and energy thereby; bend, crumple and not break. Wouldn't your uber-stiff design also transfer more long. & lat. loads to the driver's belts, etc?
Definitely a Hans device chassis?
Nevertheless, it is Gloriously Fabuloso!

Thanks for the kind words. I will try to post some pictures of the chassis for the more subtle points of construction that I haven't talked about yet. We did take crash into consideration, but it is hard to see in the photos. I will post tomorrow on a few of the things we did. Remember, keeping our customer happy, and alive, is a very high priority for us.
