Encased Rollcage...

[StraightSix]

Perhaps, something more important that no one has considered are the implications for the car passing tech at the event you want to drive.

For example, I'm about 90% certain that if a car showed up to a NASA-SE event with a cage like in the Ferrari, we would not allow it to pass tech. Why?

There wouldn't be any SFI padding protecting the driver's or instructor's melons in the event of an off course excursion into a tire wall, or, God forbid, a roll over.

Maybe you have checked the rules for the sanctioning body where you want to drive the car, but the posts in this thread seem to indicate otherwise.

That's the point I was trying to make with everyone saying they see it all the time...i'm pretty sure it's not legal where they say they've seen it BUT who says they can't use SFI padding on the face of it just like the interior of a formula Mazda/Atlantic/Ford, etc.

I've already mentioned [at least once] about making the interior panel removable for cage inspection...could easily do the same for the exterior panel too allowing a full 360° view around all the welds on the cross bars. It's really not rocket science.

The lil project car I'm building probably won't be legal in ANY competitive sanctioning body, lolol...it's just a fun 2,100-2,200lbs play car with nearly 400hp on low boost. Will make a great time attack car though, should I post the specifications of the cage they require for you?
