This car is a daily driver that I didnt want to put a full cage in. This allows me to ride my kids around comfortably(and myself) along with some protection.
We have four tracks within a 50 mile radius and only one has an actual tech area(just started). Like I stated earlier the car is only a mid 9 sec car at best and this is enough to allow me run around here(one track reqires me to run the five point harnesses as well).I have/had cars with ceritfied full cages and that wasnt my intention here,just allows me to have some fun on the weekends without getting kicked off the track.

Thanks guys.
I honestly have only made one pass in the car,my wife does all the driving so I get to watch
A couple of months ago they backed the car off the track because it was leaking water. Turns out the defroster was on and it was the A/C dripping!
As sad as it sounds, my combo's getting Old school! Cars are getting crazy fast nowadays,I just take comfort in the fact that I can realistically drive mine ANYWHERE comfortably and not worry about it.

Hey Silkey,wheres that beast of yours hiding out?
