I was wondering about that 'multi-tube' ruling myself. When does a roll
cage become a multi-tube frame? Or is it just trying to get us to use a
boxed channel OEM style frame? Alstons makes a bitchin roadster frame but I
would hate to build the whole car and then have it ruled as illegal because
it violated the multi-tube rule.
