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?

Chris, while you have given your builder the rule book and told him to follow it to the letter, you will be the one cryin' the blues if that cage isn't legal for class, not the builder. So, you will be out the cashola for the cage build AND not have a car you can race in.

And forgive me, but it doesn't appear you've read the class rules too closely either.

This isn't Saturday night, run what you brung racing. The rules are written for a specific purpose ... to make sure it boils down to driver and not a driver's bank account.

I highly recommend you get in touch with a director, arrange a meeting, go over plans and then proceed. You very well could be headed down a path you don't even know you are taking.
