Yea, a 6-point is just with a side bar for the passenger side.
Richard has done some nice cages in full interior cars. http://user1358701.sites.myregisteredsite.com/id5.html
One problem with the rules though, if enforced, is that you are supposed to have a full roll cage at 135mph or faster. 135mph for an automatic, slicked, transbraked, perfectly geared, tubed old V8 might be in the 9s. While for most manual tranny imports it's in the 10s-11s. |
Yep don't forget about the trap speed, I don't know if you'd ever dip into the 9's but the trap speed is a big factor to think about.
I'd also check out mean street, I'd guess they'd be as cheap if not cheaper than a pre bent cage. They quoted me 800ish for an 8pt in moly and TNT quoted me 1ksih for an 8pt in moly.
Do you plan on running at only rock falls? At cedar from my experience they're pretty lenient on the rules and I'd feel pretty safe saying you wouldn't need a cage.
