Re: Roll Bar/Cage

I'd go to the track first, then do the cage once you get kicked out. Rockfalls is very lienent on their rules on sport compact days. I put in the full certified cage for my safety, piece of mind, and the power the car made. I only exceeded the 135mph rating once (tad over 136, so not by much), but on that pass I was sideways for a good chunk of the first part of the track. Once I tech'd at rf's and brainerd the first time, they remembered the car and didn't even blink.

John still has the bender in his garage and can probably bend you up a hoop/bars to fit. I know he still has chrome moly as well. Remember that 4130 chrome moly needs to be tig welded, which is much more labor intensive and time consuming.

My next tba project will probably need a 6 point as well, but it will not be a drag car, and that is a good 5 years down the road before it will require one. Full Cages ruin street cars, rollbars are hardly noticeable when probably installed/fitted.
