What Could This Be.... A Cage in the X? Track This Weekend? Details Inside!

We started building the cage in our X yesterday. It should be done today and ready for the track on Friday! The Exedy Triple Disc has been installed and things are looking good! We hope this nice weather will stay through the weekend!

Here are a few progress pictures of the cage build.


















We are doing all the bends in house on our mandrel bender.

Thanks,

Michael

You Could! We removed the seats and pushed the carpet away and went to work! The guys in the shop did a great job on the cage, it's completed and ready for the track this weekend! Hopefully.... we don't get rained out again! Gotta love the NW!

I will keep you guys updated!

Thanks,

Michael

You aren't allowed. You can't drive evos with cages... you will take advantage

Extremely clean imo.
