Default Full Cage

Just out of curiosity how many of the big guns are going to put the cage in over the off season. I am wondering how many guys will continue to compete at this level. Will it be just me and Billy going ***** out event after event? :smash: :smash: :smash:

I keep trying to convince Chris & Doug to put the full cage in the vert but I dunno if it's going to happen or not.

I do expect that at least one if thier cars will have a full cage by next season!!!! ;)

I will look to do the full cage with a chute and all the extras needed to be NHRA certified. I am speaking to Dennis and Carmin about it after the season is done. I hope etown lets us get one in w/out any problems. See you in two weeks, I hope you can keep it together. :cheers:

A bigger field would be nice. Come on Cartek, East Coast get some more of your beasts to the track. Maybe some other Tuners will get in the game I hear East Side is working on a few C5's Some one should try and get them involved in the challenge next season the more the merrier :cheers:

I think MR MajorSpray will be just fine on the 15th!

And....

Boweryboy will be right behind him chugging along as the "other 9 sec Vette Doctor C5".

It will be a pretty sad when my 9.90 C5 will be the 3rd slowest 9 sec C5 the Vette Doctors have on the track on the 15th:D :cheers: :lolg:

See you all on the 15th :seeya

You mean third quickest right? I might be the third slowest.

Hey if I manage to get into the 8th spot, you guys will go easy on me right?

The ruling I got today was any Vette (I SAID ANY VETTE) running 10.99 or faster will need a 8 point cage aand related safety equipment.

Would a ZO6 be considered "ANY VETTE"? Did you mean ANY AND EVERY VETTE? I guess I don't quite understand the new rule. A ZO6 is a fixed roof coupe, no t-top, no glass top, no removable roof. MJ
