We're starting design on our 2008 car, and I know there used to be a document specifying legal types of front impact structures. I think it was an excel sheet that had all the different acceptable triangulations. If anyone could pass it on to me, I'd really appreciate it. My email is sathersc@muohio.edu. Thanks.

You also need to make sure that your driver's feet fit within that structure. There was a top team that came through my tech line at West this year that missed that one by quite a bit. They had to weld on more tube.
