It is the area you circled, and to the left of it, he actually took it all the way down to the bucket area. From what I can tell the head got this treatment on both sides of the bucket, at every cam lobe.

oh wow.. I see that now..

Hey another question I got for you.

I was looking at a picture of your cabin in the attached pic below,
I noticed the Sparco seat is pretty low to the floor and the steering wheel is almost at neck level. I am sure your very comfortable with this setup from the video's I have seen at events. Is there a visibility issue looking over the dash? I mean your eye level has to be even with the dash if not just a bit above..

OR, are you just really tall? lol

The setup has changes since that pic was done for SEMA 2010... The seat and wheel are both lower and further back now, and I now have a halo seat. We no longer have to fit a bunch of guest drivers so the seat sliders were removed, anyone who wants to drive the car has to suck it up and sit where I like.

The seat is 1" lower and back about an 1". The stock steering column was removed and a custom unit that moved the wheel down and back is in there, although the wheel is still in basically the same location in relation to where I sit.

Is there a visibility issue? Depends on your point of view. Many of the open cars I have to race against can not be seen if we are bumper to bumper, other than the roll hoop and the drivers helmet. But it is certainly not an issue. At speed you are looking so far down track whats immediately in front of you is not really an issue.

I am 5'9", I think my head just clears the top of the seat. You can see from this shot, where the camera is just below eye level, it is not bad at all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm4NJaZ3CHo
