Roll Bar Dia?
« on: July 28, 2013, 09:22:09 PM »
We raced in 2008 inV4/VGCC, our roll cage is 1 1/2", now it looks like we need to have 1 5/8"?  Please answer, we about ready to load up to go.

I don't think so. Book specifies G,H,I,J, &K only need 1-1/2", and those records are often faster than V4.Call Doug Robinson tomorrow-I THINK he'll say you're ok with the 1-1/2".

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

PM sent. Didn't want to post it here, as the spam bots have fun with that stuff!

When in doubt, call the head tech - Kiwi Steve. His number is in the book.

Isn't the cage material spec dependent on the standing class record?
If under 175, the 1-1/2" should be legal.

clarification only in G-K classes.

Maybe should be addressed at rules time.
