[quote=driftedfc3s;2288092]Here's my cage in the racecar. It was done by Tim at TIP (wiisass).

I knw ANYTHING Tim WISSAS does is very well thought out and calculated. With that being said, why is the main hoop so far from the car where the two upper bends are.? (where the roof meets the rear quarter windows......very upper left most part of cage in picture)

Ideally, wouldn't those two points hug the car like the rest of the cage? Dont get me wrong, not bashing at all. Just wondering what the reasoning is behind this so I will be better prepared to build my own cage. I plan on making it as tight to the car as possible unless i hear a reason not to.
