scca IT cage rules question, Will it pass tech? Options

[94teener2]

Putting in a cage for SCCA IT racing. Got main hoop to top of rockers (longs?). Am in process of putting in forward bar from main hoop to A pillar to either floor or top of rocker. Much prefer top of rock but the rules state to "floor"(gcr 18.3.c).

Anyone have any experience passing tech (getting logbook) with down tubes mounted to top of the rockers.

thanks

Do not go to the floor! Go to the top of the rocker. I believe that you have to have a reinforcment of a certian thickness and size (8 inches I think) if you go to the floor. The rocker provides a much more solid place to support both the rear main hoop and the front down tubes (the ones that go along the A pillar). In IT, if I remeber correctly, you can only have 6 mounting points. Why IT? I would (and did) go production, I started in E Prod then moved to F when the changed the classification for the 1.8.

I wouldn't know Andy's actuall motivation, but IT is a whole lot less expensive than Production...

Just a hunch... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
