Why you should install a full roll cage...

...if you plan on doing hill climbs. lol

As important as the cage was in this wreck, equally as important was the seat and harness setup.

It should buff out.

Too much throttle coming in to the curve. I agree with the op.

Both driver and co-driver walked away with minor injuries is what I read.

Roll cage in a street car is the worst thing you can think of, the only safe way to use a roll cage is to use the whole safety equipment that goes with it, a simple 30 mph side impact in a car with a cage in the street and your head hit one of then tubes in the wrong way and you are DEAD!

i used to live in colorado springs. Drove that mountain many many times when it still had dirt. Up by that point, I wouldn't doubt that the tires would be pretty damn hot (greasy) and starting to wear. Devil's playground is also a touch tricky. It was fun on dirt though. Not sure how it would be paved... I think it lost its "soul".
