Duncan, only issue I can forsee with you being in the D8 class is your cage, a cage is required, but to certain standards and design.

B3 class doesn't require a ccage but if you have one, again I think it needs to be to the MSA regs, may be worth you coming to a Sprint first for a look and get a scrutineer to look over the car.

Ok - good point - May head to one once the cage is in and all prepped up. Thanks.

Or just get a proper cage

yours is a dash dodger isnt it?

comes down straight from the A-pillar without a bend. just sits against the dash so no cutting required.

Also, if you look in the blue book, at every bolted join you need 2 bolts of a certain diameter, and Cusco cages only have one in a clevis joint.

dont write me off yet i will still do a few sprints this year but a few issues has stopped me from starting next month, i'v had a real crap start to the new year with work and car problems but i now see light at the end of the tunnel (i think) :lol:
all i could think about was march and the start of the season, to say im gutted is an understatement.

No worries TK, these things happen, look forward to you joining us in the paddock soon tho!!!

As long as the car is running safe then you should get out there!

Sorry to hear that Trev, but I bet you make an appearance as a competitor before Duncan does
