Icon2 Frame reinforcement del sol question

Hi All,

Thinking about turning my project Del Sol into a drag only car.

I've read that the Del Sol frame/chassis all around sucks for racing.

What's best practice for increasing rigidity, I guess for each type of racing?

I.e. Drag probably needs rigidity from a strong engine twisting the frame.
Where street course would maybe need some left-to-right structure added for turns?

Sorry for the noob question, I only know that the frame is made to crumple during impact from the factory and mods/welding is needed for racing, just trying to get my stuff straight.

Thanks,
Jon
