My current setup "should" be able to go quite a bit quicker then 11.49. I really don't think I'd enjoy driving all the way to one of these tracks, just to get kicked out right away.
So I've been contemplating putting in a 5-point Roll Bar (with swing out)which should apparently allow me to go as fast as 10.00 according to the 2008 Rulebook I have, and also on this link:

I went shopping around online, and all the pre-made kits appear to all be 8-point cages. I honestly do not see myself going any faster than 10.00, and the less bars/pipes I have to put in the interior, the better. Does anyone know of any pre-made 5-point kits? Does anyone know any good local places that could install this, or even just make one if there are no premade kits? I'd more then likely just go with a mild steel setup.
On other question regarding swingouts. Can swingouts only "swing", or is it legal to have them actually be completely removable and still be legal? That way I could just have it removed all the time for regular driving, and then just install it when I go to the track.
