Roll Bar/Cage

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I went to Rock Falls for a test n tune once last summer, and there was a guy in a Stealth there running 10.20's with no cage, and they didn't say anything to him.

hmmm... that almost makes me want to wait until I do get booted...

Id wait and see what times you put down. You might pull a Steve Hill and only run 12s. :D

What was your best time at the track? ;D

My friend with his turbo gtp got kicked off 3 times this year cause he was running faster than 11.50 with no rollbar or whatever you need to run that fast.

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.

Yeah I hear you.

Here is my dilema. I would really like to wait to do something like this until I do get booted. But... my car is really only out and about maybe 6-7 months out of the year before it's thrown into storage for the winter. When it's nice out, I like to be able to enjoy it. So now, while it's in storage, is an ideal time to get any of these bigger things done, rather then doing it in the summer when I could be enjoying it.

That's my dilema. But right now I am leaning towards just waiting until I do get kicked off because it is a fairly permanent mod. And I think I oughta just wait until I know I absolutely need it.

Josh, did you guys build the one for your stealth with that bender? It was real nice. I'm really leaning towards getting one built, rather then a bolt in kit, because I think a custom bent one would be able to fit a lot smoother/cleaner, and be able to be closer to exactly what I want.

14 something :) Making maybe 200whp, never dynoing and being mostly stock. Never went to the track with the 20g.

Mine fit qell for me, but the main hoop had to be a bit forward because of how clsoe to the steering wheel i sit. I went in a few different times for jesse to measure me and figure out where the doorbar and hoop and harness bars all went.
