lechu84 = carlos? friends with david & sennet?
Nicely done. Also want to see how you got the dash in nicely. Firestorm...I don't know if your going to put in a dash bar, but the fabricators that did my cage slipped the tube in the top vent down to the floor. They did absolutely on cutting or trimming on the dash. The only drawback to this is you will NOT be able to remove the dash again, unless you cut/trim it yourself. Which I had to, but I had the front window out, so I just cut straight throw so that I can pull the dash out horizontally. I don't know if that made any sense...lol |

Thanks for the comments on my cage, I appreciate the concern. I did not weld this, If I did there would be lots of reason for concern since I suck at welding. I had it inspected by the local NHRA inspector and he went through a pretty thorough inspection and said it looked great. Most of the professional welders who have seen it in real life have also said the same. The color looks much worse because I was taking pictures in my garage with long exposures and cheap flood lights. But I appreciate your concern and will look more into it. I have had a few of the really well known welders on here tell me it looked great so I was pretty happy but if I should be concerned I will have more people inspect it and see if I need something done to correct it. Before the door bars were finished it was certified to go 8.50's. The door bars are just being finished as this obviously is not a drag car. Again thanks for the concern and I will have a close friend who has been welding for 30+ years stop by and look at it and see what he thinks.

Again. I'm not trying to come off as a dick. I'm offering my opinion as a professional certified TIG welder. And by the standards that I set for myself. (Also going back to school to start my weld inspector training this Nov) 7.4.2 of this years FD rule book. (I believe this also covers D1 or whatever?) I know we use these rules for DMCC (Drift Mania Canadian Championship) Welding shall conform to American Welding Society D1.1:2002, Structural Welding Code, Steel Chapter 10, Tubular Structures. Based on those standards I would reconsider those welds. Again. This is just my opinion. And I'm NOT trying to come off as an arrogant asshole. Just trying to state my thoughts in a friendly professional manner, lol :P |

I see alot of cages with the harness bar going straight across the main hoop like this...
And I also see cages with the harness bar curved back behind the main hoop like this... What is the reasoning for this? Pros/cons? Also, typically how far up on the main hoop do the harness bars sit? I know it has to do with the angle of the harnesses but that changes with different seats/rails and rail positions doesnt it? So just generally... |

Anybody have experience with the height for door bars?
What's the lowest that the highest point (where it meets the main hoop) is aloud to be?

Some pics of my cage, I had Ron @ Clocksoffracing.com build it. Told him make it meet specs to run a 10.00 in the 1/4 mile without getting booted.
Cage turned out GREAT, door bars are a little high, and the harness bar is a little close but hey thats fine.

Plus, its not always about flipping over, could be getting hit from the side. And it makes the chassis stiffer. |
