I talked to them and they have a 10 point DOM cage that would be NASA legal for 499 plus 160 for shipping. It is not complete. IT does not have petty bars for the door or some smaller bracing that I would add, but everything is notched and ready to go.

Any thoughts?

$4500 for everything...

Don't give me that crap about the trailer... lol.

Aiming for CMC.. *huge* change that I'm moving to Dallas soon... I can run with those guys...

The way I understand it... if I have a CMC legal cage, I can run AI... not necessarily the other way around...

Chris - no Lexan in CMC. Glass is cheap anyway. Make sure they understand the CMC llimitations on cage to chassis connections.

Doh! Guess I can save $600 on the lexan install...

He has the rule book... I've asked him to follow it to the letter and to document everything for me.

And yes, I know CMC2 (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

The guy built a CMC cage for Misty Cain - so it won't be his first CMC cage. Maybe one of you know her, and have seen her cage.

I don't expect to run CMC... but, if I have the cage (and the cash) for it, I can... I don't have much intent to go beyond DE's and possibly AI for now. Basically, I can/want to have multiple directions with the car for the future based on the cage.

Am I missing the mark on wanting CMC legal cage to do this?
