My goal is to get the car painted, which is well underway. Also, I want to be kicked of the track for not having a cage. 11.49's NA.

My goal for this year is cut .2 to .3 tenths off my previous best. On a budget, my pockets are shallow this time around.

I did some reading. You still need a roll bar(6 point) if you are running 11.49-11.00. You need a roll cage when you go 10.99 or faster. I guess that would be a 10 point with a halo and all.
