Chassis Stiffening

Is that a wall to wall belly pan?
My pan is I think a 7 qt, with the xtra oil going sideways.Yes it hangs about an inch below the K. IIRC the pn ended in 40.
A grass autocross is just about the most fun you can have with your clothes on.Hillbilly yahooing at its best.Its all first gear, all twisty, a couple of speed-bumps thrown in, one on the straight dash to the finishline, set up mostly for short WB FWDs.A lot of people, some with prepped cars on trailers, were surprised to see me there. In full street trim no less.My car was fresh then.When I pulled up to the ticket booth and asked for two tickets, the attendant said 2 for the bleachers. I said no, 2 for the event. Her jaw dropped, and then asked; "you want to compete in that car?!"Well, you can imagine the rest. Cars were losing their struts on the one jump, or wheels or just generally destroying their beater FWDcars.I drove 25 miles there and 25 miles back,no worries. My best time was just 5 or 6 seconds behind the eventual prepped winner, who posted a time of 59 seconds as I recall.I just went on the spur of the moment, kind of on a lark. Man what a blast.I could do that every day of the week.One guy hit the jump,lost both frt struts. the LCAs and wheels folded up under the car and he landed on them. You know that guy tried to get that sorry pos to continue on? When it wouldnt go, he got out to see why I guess.What a surprise he got! Later that day I pulled into the shop for an inspection. Thats when I discovered the cracked pan. What a PITA to braze that up.
That day lives on in my memory. Good times.
