Topic: Need Lemon feedback on cage upgrades
I am looking at upgrading the cage in the Punisher Caprice, not because Lemons Tech wants me to, but because I want to
1) We removed the dash, the curvy front down tubes don't make sense anymore.
1b) There's no dash bar tying the front down tubes together.
2) There is not much in the way of driver side impact protection and I want more.
3) Other reasons that have passed tech but I'd feel safer if I beef up the cage a bit.
Reading the rules (IKNORITE!) the rules clearly call out >3000# cars to have 1.75x0.120 wall tubing.
There is a spec 4-point cage available for the car for the roundy-round crowd. However, it's made of 1.75x0.095 wall.
It's a well priced, pretty kick ass cage.
Looking through the various rule books for Street Stock class RWD cars, most tracks require no more than 1.5x0.095 wall tube and 3250# race weight.
Can I get a read on allowing 1.75x0.095 wall tubing? We have pared the car down to ~3550# with full fuel.
