I was told after the first run to slow down since I had no roll cage, after the second run I got the boot!! Happiest drive home from the track yet! Probably going out friday night as it is supposed to drop to around 45 degrees.

 

sweet runs... I had a similiar experience at getting the boot in my GTO, I was also told I needed a fire jacket due to the aftermarket turbos....

 

Getting booted FTW

 

congrats on the new PBs!!! you got that car a movin!!

you going to put a cage in her?

 

They also mentioned that I needed a fire jacket as well. I'm seriously thinking about caging her as I go to the track at least once a week. This is my only car but I rarely drive it as I live in walking distance to pretty much everything I need (work, grocery store, gym, etc) and when I do drive I never use the back seat. I've already been talking to my performance shop guy about the cage last night. If I do the cage, I'm going to add some HP, whether it be from a 12 lb pulley and race tune, or possibly a small shot of nitrous (eventually forged block). If I'm going to have a cage, I better be needing it on every run.

 

our tracks here not let you run w/o a fire jacket if the car is blown

you can get removable door bars and leave them out but for when you venture to the track

If I could get to the track that often I'd likely cage miine, but I'm lucky if I get there 5x a year

 

Wow, look how far you have come!!!!! Nice job!

 

Well done my friend.So close to that 1.5 sixty ft.

 

What is the rules on having a roll cage? your time? what is the limit

 

11.49 and quicker you need a cage/fire jacket
