Cage question
I have a 6 pt only welded to the plates. Is it legal to "extend"and weld to the frame, or do I have to install a whole new cage? I have the car dialed to 10.00's because of this, but I'm ready to turn it up.

Thanks

*LOL* no, not holding out. With new motor it should be in the nines easy... I say should. I just don't want to ship the car only to get kicked off the track. I hope this ferry thing works out for us.

I remember the bearings out of the old one...

I'd say nines easy...

I got a nice MCSS you can put all of that into... with the cage already in it!
