I "think" I know what is meant by this rule, but I just want to make sure before the upcoming TSRA race at DSC. Under "General Technical Rules/Texas NASCAR and Wing Flexi", rule #14 says:

"...a “u” shape brace may be added to the rear end of any flexi chassis. It may be inverted but must be ran vertically and not horizontally."

My take on this rule is that the brace would be used to brace the rear axle/bushing area, to prevent the bushings from becoming misaligned in a collision, correct? Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding; it's been a couple years since I participated in a TSRA race and, even then, only in a couple races.

yes, in a position like a goal post, to prevent rear bushings from "squeezing" together, binding up. you can also put it upside down, jut not "lay" it down.
