Glad Dixon made it out of this one ok.
Not sure about the rule change. I'm sure you already know that it's purposely built to bend in the middle or else it would wheelstand at half track. It's the only way it's possible to keep the front tires on the track. That's why you see them bow up in the middle. They are on the edge of breaking..INSANE!

I got a buddy that works on Antrons car/team and he's building a Jr. Dragster for his daughter and it's amazing how much that thing flexes!!

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
