This is what Jay just sent me. The car is 4 hours away from me over in Raleigh, NC. I'm on the OBX of NC. I'll post every pic he sends me. Not a 12 point cage now. Just a 6 point. Upgrading to a 10 point at least later depending on how well the car actually runs. We race 1/8th mile almost exclusively so we won't likely see speeds of over 140 even if we run the car way out the end. And yes, I know a 6 point cage is a joke in this car. It's just part of the overall plan and this year is a stepping stone to bigger plans with the car down the road. But we ran last year with no cage whatsoever so this is a big improvement over that. The locals still think this car is a high 6 second car because it honestly looks really slow when you see it on track. When we were at MIR there were a LOT of Corvettes there running mid 10's that looked and sounded MUCH faster/better than we did. We've been getting away with murder because of this fact.
