Bolt in roll bars?
« on: October 03, 2010, 11:10:41 AM »
I have the ECTA rule book on order but I'm hoping to get a consensus about roll bars from the people who have been there. I'm working on a 65 GTO project. It will be a street car with A/C and nice interior as well as wipers and mufflers. The foundation is an Art Morrison Max G chassis using C-6 front suspension a 9 inch with watts link in the rear. The frame rails are 2x4 .120 wall. I will be running a LS based motor with a Magnuson setup and hope to make 600-700 wheel HP. The goal is to have as much fun with this car as I can. To get where I want to go I have to plan now. The body is attached to the chassis, the motor mounts are done and I'm working on the headers and exhaust before the floor pans get fabricated.

I would love to run Maxton with the car as well as other non LSR events. Since this is a street car first I cant live with a permanent roil cage. If I fabricate a cage using the correct spec materials and anchor to the chassis with grade 8 hardware will it be legal to run at Maxton?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Thanks,

I'm laid out with a high fever and sore throat right now. I'll call when I'm feeling better.
