I can see those bolts breaking off in a crash and you’ll end up having long metal spear shaped bars flying throughout the cabin. That can’t be good for the passengers. Forget you ever saw this cage. ---

He said track days… that could mean about 10million things. DRs on the street is for street racing… has nothing to do with going to Lancaster or NYI to run at the track. Cage = Saftey… maybe you shouldn’t wait for your car to go eleventy billion miles per hour in the 1/8th before you get one… your first 11sec pass may be your last. Your all assholes. 😛 ---

I think Bryans car could easily run under 11.5 if all goes well, hence the cage would be necessary to run at any strip. Blowing things up can easily happen on these builds so might be awhile before you need a cage. I would just schedule a time for G-Force to weld you a cage, and maybe by that time you will really need it. ---
