Re: Head/neck restraints
That's kind of what I was saying. I just want to come have fun, but having fun means pushing a little (to me anyway). My plan is and has always been to run way more safe then is specified by the rules. Unfortunately safety doesn't come cheap, and the $600 for a H/N restraint on top of all my other n...

Re: Head/neck restraints
Hey everybody, thanks for the replies. Just to clarify, when I said it would only be fun without an X on the door, I meant that with all of the correct gear you only have to worry about driving. Also, this will not be my first rodeo as I have run every event excluding Philo. The Integra I ran before...

Re: Head/neck restraints
Ok, So, the short answer is yes you need to have a restraint, because not having one is going to take all the fun out out of running. I understand and appreciate the fact that uncaged cars can participate in hillclimbs. Doing so has been one of my favorite experiences in Motorsport. It just feels li...

Head/neck restraints
I have read the rules, but want to understand a little better. I am currently caging a Focus SVT to compete in NEHA events. I do not believe based on my past experience that I will be faster then the breakout times. Do I need a Hans or other device simply because I have the cage? If I'm slower the b...

Double V bend or one cut for door X?
Is there any consensus as to what makes a better X door bar: 1) double V bend welded and taco gusseted 2) one continuous length diagonal with the second diagonal welded to it and taco gusseted I tend to think option 2 would be better as you have 1 bar that is still straight and would be in tension d...

Re: Taco gussets vs triangular gussets?
Thanks guys, I figured that the FIA specs would be acceptable, but wanted some reassurance. The car should be less the 2500lbs total when I am done. I am going to splurge for 1.75" .095 wall dom tubing for everything (only need one bend die). It looks like using that conservative approach I'll ...

Taco gussets vs triangular gussets?
I think I like the idea of using the taco gussets on the cage intersections. Are they any better or worse the the regular triangular style? Do they have to match the wall thickness of the tube? Would I need to punch them to provide access to the tubing welds for tech? Any info or opinions would be a...

Re: Cutting holes in the floor for weld access?
I have a lot of welding experience but this is going to be my first cage. It should be completely overbuilt, but that will be ok. Trying to cross reference hillclimb, com, and rally America rules and make a cage that is compliant with all of them is tough. First thing is first though, I have to get ...
