@rusty240det

@Rogueeg6

thanks ill be leaving it off for now, but i understad the concern about it, i have no grounds up top anytways so only thing gonan fall in would be a vc bolt so ill take the risk.

@rusty240det"

is that some kind of slip joint on the halo for the cage?

@dyingwish

Curious as to why you’re caging a DD? Do you race with it all?

@Rogueeg6"

i plan on racing it on some road coarses this year but the main reason is because i wanted to.

@dyingwish"

With that response, I’m not going to rehash the whole caging a DD is absurdly unsafe…but you have some clear issues with the structure. The forward hoops are very poorly designed, and not nearly as sturdy as they should be, they don’t appear to be able to withstand a rollover. Most of the instructors (which you’ll be required to have for your first several track sessions) would not sit in something designed like that. I’ve watched that happen a few times… Secondly, the instructor must have the same harness and seating arrangement as the driver. That means no bucket and 5pt for you and stock seat for them. My car is built for the track and never sees the street, but I had to follow the very same rules as you will. What tracks do you plan on driving?

@dyingwish

I don’t know what tracks you plan on driving but there are definitely instructor requirements for every track I’ve ever driven, period.

As for the cage, who cares how the company makes it, you bought it and safety is safety…and you don’t screw with that. When you step on track I suggest you leave your ego behind. The point is you are doing something for a street car that is unequivocally dangerous.

@Rogueeg6

im pretty sure SW knows what they are doing man. i think you might be the one with the ego here im building my car for me not for you if it doesnt please you then make comments to yourself because i dont need your help,

when you make the rules for what i can and cant do then maybe ill change it.

@Rogueeg6

critizing, and not having a clue about what your talking about are two different things

Ok then so what your telling me is that Dyingwish (A seasoned Autocross and Road Race Driver) has no clue what he’s talking about. Ok thanks

But this is the worst one your telling me that Rusty240det doesnt know what he is talking about?!?!?! You better do some research on who he is, what he has done and what he does. Ill give you a start Hybridynamics he used to own it.
