I think we're going to try to run points at mir. we only made it to one race there last season and managed to be number 1 qualifier with the old motor.

I like the bars up higher it gives more room under the chassis, personally that's how I plan to do mine, bars on top of the floor, then I will remove those sections from the bottom and make new ones on top of the bars and cover it with the light weight carpet to keep it looking stock inside.

Well then it will cost you 3 times as much since it's got bennets name tied to it. as long as pat never lays a hand on it it will turn out nice.

You cant do a 25.2 cage in MS??? Why do you ask..And i disagree with the bars inside..Head room is already tight with them in the floor.I'm 6ft though..Why do you feel you need more room under your car?

BTW: Cage looks great ..I like ho he intergraded the kmember in.I take it this is a turbo car?

Just mis read thought it was a 25.5.

Head room isn't a problem when the seat is mounted to the floor, as far as more room under the car it's so I have more clearance to run duals under the car.

Your going to have to go turbo bro..Getting a set of headers passed those k-member ties will be more than challanging.
