I found a couple loose suspension bolts ( rear shock mounting bolts ) when I was doing my brakes, and I KNOW I tightened them down when I first installed them. Lots of vibration loosens everything.

The coolest part about running so quick is they didn't say a word to me about going quicker than I should with no roll bar. Not sure how quick I'll have to be to get a talking to, but I was almost .3 quicker than the cut off and they just handed me my slip without a word Hope I can click off a 10 second run before I get kicked out, lol. I do have dark tint, so you can't tell if I have a cage or not, which might be why I've skirted by.
If running in a street legal class, it looks like you can go as fast as 9.00 in the 1/4 without a cage, just a jacket and a helmet so maybe they were operating off that?

If running in Sportsman/Pro, it looks like 10.00 is the fastest you can go with only a roll bar so perhaps you could add a roll bar, it wouldn't impact the street-ability too much as I have one too.

I hope I'm interpreting this correctly because I was planning on racing this year and staying around that 10.0 mark as I think it would be fun and better than doing nothing lol.

Both of my local tracks are WDRA sanctioned. So I'll have to look and see what their requirements are. Maybe they're more lenient.
