Anyone have experience with Smith Performance?
www.smithperformance.com They are near Cayuga Motor Speedway in Cayuga, Ontario.
I'm guessing not, since they are mostly a FWD GM racecar shop (think Sunfire and Grand Am turned into RWD for NHRA drags). But, they are only about 2 hours from me, and they said they'd fab up whatever 6 or 8 point roll bar I need, swing out door arms or even street removable, for ~$2000.
The first place I went was Torrelli Pro Cars, but they said they weren't interested in a modern, street-driven car. They do chassis engineering for older cars and super-high end NHRA stuff. The fastest one they've built the chassis for does 5.90's @ 240 in the 1/4. They recommended Smith Performance. I called and talked to the owner (FJ Smith), and he said to bring it on up and he'd take a look and come up with a firm number for me.
My plan is to have the upper hoop built either underneath or partially inside my Cervini's convertible bar, and have the downward supports off the hoop be at least partially hidden by my speedster covers. Thus, allowing me to still look like a street machine, but be 100% track legal.
Thoughts? Feedback? Ideas?
Thanks!!
