Ahh! Yes that is what I was seeing as well. That angle of upper bar, transferring force more towards mid/forward chassis. Just making observations.
Thanks for the pics and input. I think I was there, pitting next to the likes of Mr Burley and then young son.

I won that Bowling Green Race...against an entire field of Evo's
The second pic of my Pro Stock was at Rt66 Joliet...great place...I decidedly did Not win...but was Second in points that year!! Pretty good for a Small 114" conventional 3-13/16x 5!!!! 4-speed!!!!!

BTW; I will need to double check, but I recall Pingel used a heavier rail...Top I think, on Harleys!!!
Feazel made both of those Bars as well as Chassis!!
