I have seen the pics as well, thats one of the things that prompted my question about the manufacturer of the chassis, as it appeared to be shattered (which would be very possible heat treated or not).

I spoke to Don Long the other day and he told me that Scott Kallitta's chassis was indeed a small tube heat-treated Mckinney.

Long also mentioned Prudhomme's statement "went into a million pieces".

Also received this in an email from Long;

"Would the more ductile normalized tubing have made a difference? of course. but the question is, would it have made THE difference? The opinions that I have received are that it would not have...

Regardless, Bent...but not broken' should still be all chassis builders' quest".

Wow! There's a case study! Very interesting Jeff.
