racing regulations: how fast can your car be before.....
I was wondering about some stuff regarding racing regulations. I know like if you car is faster than 14s, you need to use a helmet. (my best is 13 flat with 2.15 60', I have one). As I add more mods, (either a cam, blower, both haven't decided yet) What's are the regulations for speed on your car...like how fast before you need a driveshaft loop? How fast before you need a roll cage? etc. Can you get a roll cage put in these cars by bolting? (no welding?) anybody got pics of a 10 sec c5's cage? thanks

Our driveshaft is in a torque tube so you don't need a loop.
11.49 need 5 point roll bar
9.99 need full cage
I've got a 6 point in mine with removable door bars. Can barely tell it is in there when you are driving. Can't see it from behind either.
Where did you get your cage and about what did it cost you if you dont mind me asking. I have been tossing around the idea of getting one. Is a 6 pt with remoable door bars good for a 9.99 or faster pass?

Sorry... dont mean to hijack the thread.
No... 6pt is good to 10.00000000000000001
Once you're in the 9s you need a 10pt. IIRC the 10-point cage is usually good to 8.50
I put in a Wolfe bolt on 6pt cromoly. I think it was around $1100. Easy but time consuming. Weld in is safer though. I just didn't want to do that to this car.
Just checked.... Wolfe is having a 30% off sale. They usually have long lead times during these big sales, but it will save quite a bit of $$.

Technically, yes. It is not something you would want to remove/reinstall on a regular basis. You have to remove the seats, carpet, and some of the interior molding. It is bolted through the floor board (fiberglass) on the front and rear with plates underneath. The main hoop is bolted around the cross member.
