Default SFI Chassis spec. 25-1 E Crash Testing

Anyone know more about SFI's crash testing of a prostock car? I heard from a reliable source that the results weren't good for a head on collision above 50 mph. As most of you know this is the same chassis spec that Pro RWD and Pro FWD build to. Anyone know more about specifics? Fabman?

I wonder how they're doing the testing as well-- whether it's straight into the wall or scraping it sideways similart to how Abel's crash was.

Better tell your reliable source to stop listening to rumors.

I just spoke with the President of SFI, and when he stopped laughing, he confirmed that no one is crash testing a 25.1 chassis. He supposes the toughest part of arranging that type of test would be getting a chassis builder to donate the chassis.

Anyway, chalk that one up to rumor.
