Topic: cage questions- yes I read the stickies :)
I have a miata that ran in 2018 and passed tech. I wanted to know if I could remove one bar on the cage (the diagonal with red Xs) and move the two side bars (blue lines) out to the side of the hoop (red lines). I'm just under 6'1" and am one of those tall guys/little car combos and want to make sure I don't fail tech because of the 2" rule. I was going to see if the welder could repurpose the diagonal bar as another bent top bar like the one on the driver's side. The tubing is the 1.75" x .120 heavier tubing. The seat is in a welded in drop pan so I should have the clearance for my big ol' head (like Sputnik!) regardless, but just wanted to make sure it would still pass tech. The second seat will be removed prior to the race of course- I want to get some in car driving advice before then if I can!.
thanks.

PS -Judge Phil- I am covering it with cork for the Toyo Kogyo tribute you wished for.
94 Miata transitioning to BRG because she now identifies as a Lotus previously covered in cork as Mazda/Toyo Kogyo tribute then painted like the Queen's coffin
