Anyone use this cage? It says it is legal for Nasa and scca, can this be run in american iron?

http://www.ioportracing.com/Merchant2/merc...gory_Code=AP151

How difficult is the cage to install, and is it necessary to do any cutting of the interior etc?

thanks

Tim

Sounds like I need  to find a local guy to build up a cage.

...I cannot stress that approach enough.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ....my thoughts are always...

Track Day/HPDE = Autopower OK
Wheel to Wheel = Autopower not enough

I am a little dissapointed with the fit of my Autopower Race Rollbar. Prefitting looked very good, but that was with the rear floorboard carpet in place... cutout the carpet for bottom plates and it drops over a half an inch down from the 'roof'. Basically the top of the rollbar is 2" down from the headliner (from directly above the drivers seat), which I guess isn't so bad if you are short. But at 6'2" I'm not short and my helmet brushes the headliner. I should drop down around 2" once the Kirkeys go in, so maybe it will be a little safer then. If I had to do it over again I'd get a custom welded roll bar that goes right up against the top roof.
