Looking good. What are the USTCC regs on Aero mods?

Interesting placement of the normally harness bar so low across your main hoop and then you went with another bar between the diaganol and main hoop as your harness bar. Interesting read of the rules. I didn't realize they used the NASA CCR as their base.

Yep you're right King Tut, it is different but completely legal. We did this to keep the integrity of the cage, while allowing the door bars to be lower than usual. If you're on fire you don't want a high door bar to keep you in the car, even for a second longer; and with the FRS, the seat sits much lower in the front compartment, so this was the best choice.

Good info about the door bars. Those windows are tight to climb out of already without the door bars being high. Took a bit of practice this weekend to climb out of mine while it was on the trailer with the fender blocking the door from opening.

cage has been painted semi-gloss black.
