the gt2 went off the hill so we decided to help him tear into it. nothing like using a hammer and JBweld to work on a 200K car!

they let people do hillclimb without full cage? our local region requires full cage, race suits and fire suppression.

Nice. That GT2 is an SSP class autox car, so no cage for him. He's one of our local guys. Good to see him out there still at 75-76 years old.

Will do. We won't get the car out of the trailer for a few days but I'll get some when we do.

No. All you need is a longer sleeve cotton shirt, pants, fire extinguisher. It's pretty crazy. In my white Evo I was able to get koh a few times with zero added safety to the car. Technically we could race this car without a cage - crazy right?!?
