R2B2 Race Cars of Lawrenceville, Ga., has an all new drag race chassis design that they say will be fully revealed to the public at the upcoming PRI racing trade show December 12.

The company’s new A-Cim2.7 chassis is said to be lighter, safer and stronger than almost any other chassis on the market.  “We wanted to make the best chassis design even better,” said Jim Geese, R2B2’s lead designer. “This took a lot of thought and planning because we only changed what we knew would increase performance and improve safety dramatically.”

R2B2 says the chassis is 48 pounds lighter than the company’s lightweight dual frame rail chassis and is designed to make accessing the transmission easier. The company says it has also made several improvements to keep the driver safer. These include:

• Smaller cabin for increased strength and safety
• Cowl bar does not interrupt the windshield bar
• Windshield bar is one-piece from main hoop to the floor
• The main impact area is not a three-piece union at cowl bar
• True 6-point Funny Car cage
• Driver sits correctly and SFI legal within the Funny Car cage
• Crumple zone entire right hand side of car
• Crumple zone entire back of car
• Crumple zone entire front of car
• Crumple zone means less G-force impact on the driver because the chassis absorbs the majority
of the impact
