Default 8.50 chassis cert!

Thanks to my friend Neil @ Possessed Racing, who has been doing my cage and chassis cert stuff, I was able to get my car certed today! Thanks again. I'll post pics of my revised 10 point as soon as possible. Sounds like a lot of guys were able to get certed today. Andy did you get certed too?

We're taking in 3 cars at the end of the month, always a relief to get it done.

Brian I had my front bars running before the dash, had it done about six years ago. My friend Neil cut out the front part and redid it thru the dash, and redo the roof bars so the bars are not right in my face... Truly a killer custom setup that doesn't have those bars right up against the side of my helmet.

I'm also using some ART hardware and a Wolfe window net.

I am having a custom 10 pt cage installed in our car as well. it's tucked away as good as any that I have ever seen. There won't be any of theinfamous head bumping on ours either.

I'd love to see some pics as John.

I'll post mine once I get the car back home.

Congrats!
