Generally the extra weight of the larger tubing isn't a problem with LSR as
it would be in drag racing. And the added security of the larger material
may well be worth the slight extra cost. Hey the I/BGS record is 253 MPH!
I've often wondered why Motorcycle Streamliners are allowed 1 1/4-inch x
.090" tubing when some of these guys are running over 300 MPH.
