ERW or DOM

Read the GCR. ERW is history in roadracing. All I've stated above, was SCCA was looking at the wrong safety item. By the sound of your posting, your car must be one of those where the cage is held up by 22 gage steel. I wish you a safe race. And please don't get so up tight over one old mans 2 cent ...

ERW or DOM!

Well and foremost, this outlawing of ERW tubing was a product of SCCA's staff of lawyers. I'm also sure that testing of ERW cages and roll bars, against DOM cages and roll bars, was done in a maner that left no doubt, that ERW tubing, when welded or bolted into a cage or roll bar, and then bolted to...

ERW BARS & CAGES LEGAL?

Appendix J (A) in the new solo rule book says ERW roll bars are ok in solo 1. Then in the level 2-3-4 rules it states the bars or cage MUST meet the GCR rules (NO ERW). What gives? Which one is true? Thanks, DICK.

VETTE ROLL BAR

Just cut a 12" or so square hole out over the frame, at the point you want the bar to go. After you finish welding. glass the square back in. Simple eh?

THE KILL BILL SWITCH or HOW I LEARNED to LOVE WIREING

Come on now! This is so simple, even a drag racer could do it. Place the cut off switch anywhere in the postive cable that fits the car. Then remove the large #10 wire from the alternator. Cut or tie it off out of harms way. NOW run a new #10 wire from the alternator directly to the postive side of ...
