I am not sure what what the "padding" is...it just seems like high density foam.

Ryan, here is the requirement from NASA's CCR concerning padding:

"15.6.4 Padding: All roll cage surfaces that may come in contact with the driver should be padded with high-density padding such as Ethafoam or Ensolite. It is recommended that padding meeting SFI specification 45.1 be used."

I Googled images of those 2 products to get an idea of what they were. Here's a link to some padding that meets SFI 45.1.

Thanks, Jody. Phoenix installed everything, so I assume it meets those standards - does the SCCA have the same regulation?

Yea, I'd think Phoenix built it meet the standards. As far as SCCA requirements, I don' know.

I'd hope so - it just didn't look as dense as the regulation stuff is from the pictures, so I wanted to ask. CDOC stocks some at VIR now if you want to compare the next time you're there.

Doug Fehan told me a few years ago about the graphics shop that they use and you could get Corvette Racing stuff from, but I deleted the bookmark after a few years. Damn if I can remember what the name of the place was, I believe it was in the Detroit area. Maybe Katech would know

You can remove the glove box door too if you want to. So is the C6 purely a DD now? Do you ever touch the Dakota when you're not towing?

According to the Sept 2006 issue of Corvette Magazine, page 44, the factory team gets their decals from Competition Graphics in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

Looks like these are the guys:
