  • Sprint car safety block
    Patent number: 10604187
    Abstract: Safety blocks can provide two points of contact for a torque tube of a sprint car if it breaks free and begins to move. During impact, safety blocks absorb and transfer energy from the torque tube to the sprint car frame located on the outer face of the safety blocks. Each face of the safety blocks can be manufactured to accommodate any surface irregularity within the sprint car frame. The safety blocks may be inserted into the sprint car from the rear of the sprint car towards the front of the sprint car.
