So yesterday I went and bought bathroom scale.. WHY? so I can weigh my car parts of course.
The black parts car I picked up had a roll bar in it. fairly standard piece I guess hoop from top of long to top of long and a diagonal brace pass corner to upper driver corner. with a charlie bar going to the passenger floor board. whole thing is 41 pounds. Pretty heavy tubing and half ass decent welds. Since I am not wheel to wheel racing I guess it will be just fine. also ran through a few set of wheels and tires just for kicks. 15 x 7 diamonds (knarly) with hard ass Yoko Advans 43lbs 15 x 8 Diamond Pro R3S04 Hoosiers 39 lbs 15 x 8.5 Centerlines with Hoosier slicks 30.5 pounds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |

Yeah, check the rules.
Reinforcing the chassis by some means other than a roll cage (stiffening kit), may not be legal depending on what class or classes you wish to run in. A cage on the other hand is legal in nearly every class. Depending on how it's installed of course... I like the idea of a cage over welding in plates here and there. For no other reason than for the added protection in the event something happens on the track. Make the cage a bolt-in, and you can take it out for autoxing... -Josh2 |
