Post pics of your legal roll cage

I talked with a company next door to Adam at Devotuning(Barrington Performance & Speed). They look like badass cages, painted well, finished well, welded well. I am trying to find what other peoples 6-point cages look like. I plan to run a decent bit faster than 11.49 so I figure I might as well put the cage in before I run it... or at least before I run it at a track that cares if I have a roll bar (Or cage if I am fast enough). Thanks guys.. also please only show me the pics of full interior cars WITH a backseat.. I aint gutting my car.

A good thread that consolidates all of the roll cage pics and specs would be great. I am going to do a IHRA/NHRA legal cage and would be interested to see what everybody has. Let us know if you cage is for Drag or tracking. I like how they did the rear bars and kept the back seats.

Are you going to let people ride in your backseat after you have the rollcage put in?

I also highly advise against putting a cage in a car that will be primarily street driven. Un-helmeted head to roll cage contact in a street accident is very bad for any occupants in the car.

I've cracked a carbon kevlar helmet, hitting it on the SFI padding on the roll cage of a rally car. The thought of what that same imact would have done to my skull had I not had the helmet really scares me.

How about we keep it to roll cages and not opinions and safety warnings. It would be nice to have a roll cage thread dealing with roll cages and not full of "you will kill yourself" advice to wade through. Not being trying to be a *ick, it just seems like EVERY roll cage thread has more posts about opinions then pics/info OF cages people have in their car.

It would be nice to see how your cage was done and what it is certified for. I would be glad to hear from any track safety inspectors about some of the designs and best way to do the cage, let me decide if I want to drive it on the street.

any cage that allows you to use the back seat is probably not SCCA legal.

Who the f sits in the back when the car has a cage. I did know an ITR guy who punched the cage through the seats because he wanted to keep noise road down.
