Default Roll cage arrived today!

My Wolfe 1 3/4" chromemoly weld-in cage arrived today. I bought it with the two removeable sidebars to make it a little easier to live with on a daily basis. It weighed 63lbs, but it had to be ordered. It sure is going to be nice to be NHRA legal for a change. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks guys!

Justin, if you do have time, give them a call and let me know what he says. If it will be awhile, I'm just going to bring it to Fisher's and let Bill weld it in and paint it for me. What's a little more money. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> lol

Cool Jason ... I can't wait to get my wolf weld in.. I got the same one as you without the swingouts. I wonder if it will be a pound or two lighter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

It will be nice this fall racing knowing that they won't boot me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

It probably wasn't the best idea in world and I sometimes regret it. However, at the time, it was what I felt was best. Priorities have changes quite a bit since then and putting the cage in was almost inevitable.
