I looked on the scca rules book but all i saw is the rules about how a cage can be in a car, not the specifics of the cage, wall size, tube size, any one know of the top of your head where to look?

Typical SCCA road racing for our cars weight 1500-2200lbs is 1.5" OD with .095 wall and if you are over 2200lbs is 1.5" with .120 wall. My Spec Miata, 2100lbs w/o driver is 1.5" X .095. If you want to go with a good cage I might recommend going with .120 on the main hoop and .095 everywhere else. Nice compromise between strength, safety and weight.
