Home brew cars

Thanks for the replys guys. Yeah, I've started to ponder the cage for awhile. Mine is even more of boondoggle. It originally started out as a 5 point, old lakewood rollbar, circa 1979. Then in 1983, I had it converted into a full 10 point cage.

As far as times, we have alot of 1/8 mile tracks, So, the 10 flat/9.99 barrier seems to be the point at which one hits the wall rulewise. One of the local tracks told me, once your car runs a 6.39 (1/8 mile), we'll start looking at teching you, until then, you're fine. I do have my barometer.
