[Fot] Roll cage

[Tony and Annie Garmey]

If I may interject .... Roll-bars !

Leave this job to a professional. A correctly designed and built cage / roll bar will pay dividends down the road not only in safety but chassis  rigidity and aesthetics.

Every Racing organization has there own guidelines/ rules ie CSRG requires a maximum of 6 points and absolutely nothing forward of the firewall .... so read your local rules and consult with the technical people within that organization. Start with Svra !

Just because you own a welder - doesn’t make you a welder.

You can find vintage racing rules for most clubs on their website (VRG, SVRA, VDCA, etc).  Some club rules may vary from SCCA. like no rollbar for period correct classes.

You can download the SCCA "General Competition Rules" for free from their website.
I simply can not imagine any organization having roll cage rules any more strict.
While the entire GCR is simply huge, the section on roll cages is but a few pages.
