Do drag cages not need cross bars? Is that the cusco death cage repainted?

hmmm i would think that a roll at high speed would have the same horrible results either at a drag strip or on track...

yeah you're right looks like the same angles as a cusco

Hey chris i'm sure you know that there needs to be a harness bar and a door bar on your side.

Again the a-pillers are only needed after 10.0 or 135 mph+

Also i'm not 100% sure but the rear bars off the main hoop may need to be welded...... i'd have to chek my handbook.

Looks similar to the cusco but i think i stumbled across 1 like this before while surfing (the pic i remember had the rear bars propped up on some box for the pic to be taken)

Sorry bryan i guess yes you call them cross bars (1 horizontal behind the driver's seat and 1 diagonal from the main hoop that runs bewteen the top of the driver's shoulder and his elbow that mounts to the floor near the driver's foot).

Should have told me you needed a fire jacket, I had a spare I could have sold you and IIRC it is an RCI jacket.


Summit is really good on shipping, it usually only takes 2 days to me in Socal after I place an order. Their west coast warehouse is up near Reno.

Just got the call from them today, the tires just shipped out today. Now I just hope to get my car running again because yesterday the car would not fire up and the stand alone was not powering up, odd thing is the car was running fine on the weekend.
