I can't speak specifically about the sub frames, but Nelson (the guy who owns the car this was built for) is mostly concerned with straight tracks and dynos. I don't believe he has built any of his cars for road coursing.

For track hounds a front subframe with improved pick up points and custom control arms would be a great way to improve both geometry and cut weight off the heavy end of the car getting it closer to 50/50.

Nice.
Yes this is for a drag car. We could totally engineer it differently to cater to just about anything.

Hey Steve, are you guys affiliated with Montana Brothers racing? I believe they were working on the frame in Nelson's black car.

What brand intercooler was that? That's pretty amazing how he blew out a weld on the tank.
