Do you run heads-up down there? If you're interested, we have a group up here (Portland area) called Headsup Northwest with about 6 events a year and 4 different classes. I was supposed to compete in the 10.50 index class this year but I've had multiple setbacks so I didn't compete.

ours hugs the pillars so much it's gonna be a pain getting the plastics on up by the ttops but that's what we wanted. All bars are 1 5/8 chromoly except the down bars, gussets, and diagnol bar across the halo.

Yea were tying to make our first wchra race of the year in bakorsfield. Sounds like you guys have some stuff up there.

Yeah I wasn't sure if you or your racer friends might be game for driving up here for some events next year or not. Here's a link to the website if ya want to look into it more. This would have been my first year participating but the group was started in 2001 I think? The Outlaw class has a couple 7 second rides.

How much does a cage like that weigh.I know your all about weight reduction, but the cage is safety, but it prole weighs about 60lbs or so?

Thanks. Before the couple of bars we weighed it and it was around 80lbs bare. Where as the 6 point was about 65 powederciated with the bolts and plates. But I'm putting in lightweigt carpet and took out other unecessary things so all in all we will be losing weight once it's done.

Well no new pics, but the cage is painted and everything is going back together. We used black rustoluem hammered paint and it looks pretty cool. Carpet was purchased today(home depot special) and should be in soon.

Hood will be ordered on weds and that's the big piece of the puzzle. Sept 11 license passes are looking good so far.

Also ordered the big jets, a single .092 jet through a stock bottom end should make for a fun time!

Cool man. Lets get some carpet pics as well. Ive been considering doing this for awhile in mine.. This 4' bullet is already insanely loud tho... Might have to swap to like some magnaflow bullets off the collectors or something.

Finally done and everything is back in minus driver seat, harness, and window net.(ill take more pics tonight). Used Rustolem Black Hammered paint( thanks phil) came out great, looks grey but I like it, also used home depot indoor outdoor carpet black about 54 bucks for 4 yards and works and looks great. Summit overflow also added.
