Actually, a very long time ago Mickey Thompson "showed the way" on that deal. The chassis he used to take Top Eliminator at the '62 Nationals (with the 432 c.i. aluminum Pontiac hemi) was remarkable. After building it of thin-wall (.062"?) round tubing he had the complete frame heat-treated for sufficient strength. He had to add 90# of lead to the front to make the 1,100# minimum dragster weight at the time!
