This has been on my mind for a while now as I've been looking at cages and what not for my BMW for next season.
A friend was recently told he can't run HPDE because he has a ERW tubed cage and NASA requires DOM in race cars, rules say for HPDE if you have a cage or bar it must meet their CCR requirements for race cars... Kind of stupid if you ask me. They never check anyway.
So then I got to looking at race cars from say BTCC or something and found many saying they aren't legal safety wise to run NASA or SCCA... Really? I'm PRETTY SURE there HAS to be a way to bring in a FIA touring car or something.
This:
Isn't as safe as this?
I'm pretty sure I'd rather be in the first car then a car with a 6 point bolt in cage.
I know I know it's insurance purposes. So does anyone know for sure if an FIA legal car can be brought into SCCA or NASA? The HPDE rule thing is just flat out stupid if you ask me, they won't check anyway, not that I'd trust registering hoping that but in my experience they won't check cages or bars in HPDE.
End rant lol.
