I'm about to get a full cage installed and just wanted to get pictures of others to get an idea of some.

It's going to be NASA/SCCA legal w/ nascar bars on both sides.

Any pictures would be great.

Thanks.

 

Here's one click away.

Google is your friend for almost any question

 

This response is why this site pretty much sucks. He is not asking where to purchase spark plugs. He is asking for input on roll cages on a racing forum.

 

If he needs to get ideas on what to build on a cage, the place he is getting the cage built at isn't a good one in my opinion.

The respective rulebooks for NASA/SCCA pretty much tell what you require. From there you want to maximize cabin room for yourself.

 

X2!!!!!

 

Who is doing the work? What kind of experience does he have?

 

there are threads from not too long ago with these pix. Google wil also bring up what you are looking for. Now a days, there isn't much thats new in the cage world.
(sorry chris b)

 

You know, there are some ideas that don't occur to you till it's too late. Things like running the main hoop as far back as you can get it (in case you'd like to use a floor mounted pedal setup), and having the seat in or mocked up so you're sure that your door cross braces will clear the shoulder wings, and rigging your netting up so that it's as far away from you and as flush with the window opening as possible. Thing is about these and all the other things I have known and forgotten or never known is that you don't necessarily see them when you look at pictures. You really need a competent and thoughtful cage builder, preferably someone who races themself so they have that extra margin of empathy for the driver and an appreciation of the more subtle touches.

Scott, who likes, but doesn't have, those vertical supports for the top of the a-pillars...

 

I have two options for cage builders. 1st guy is Chuck Yoder. He has built a lot of cages for corvette's and is currently building my friends S2000 cage. He is very reputable builder in Nashville.

The other option is a guy I work with. He has built a lot of circle track/dirt track race car cages.

They are both certified aircraft welders.

And Topdog is just messing with me

Yes I googled and have gone through the forum and only found several. What I was hoping for was more detailed pictures of the the inside of the cage.

 

If either of these guys cant read and comprehend a CCR, then you dont want them building your cage.
If they are experienced as you say they are then you have no worries.
Let them do their work and worry about how pretty it looks later.
Im sure it will turn out fine. Just stick to what the ccr's say.

 

Interestingly, but not surprisingly, that search pulled up way more dont's than do's.

Question for the op: why NASCAR bars on both sides? Does the car have two steering wheels?

 

IDK why maybe he gets the urge to switch sides from time to time...
Seriously though, thats some added weight dont ya think amongst other things.

 

Whoever is doing the cage. Have them do the seat in the cage as well.

I have seen plenty of people build a good cage and then not realize when the seat and driver with helmet is inside the car some bars get in the way.

When I had my cage built, I had both seats (driver/co-driver) and went over several times to make sure he knew where the seat was going to be positioned and if any bars would get in the way.

Also, while the CCR is the bare minimum, I would still suggest you go a bit more. It might be extra on the wallet, but having the added bit of safety and chassis stiffness doesn't hurt either. And it might just save your life as well in an accident on track.

 

Is going to be a mad tight JDM converted car. Lol just messing with you Kris.
I think a X bar on passenger side will be more than enough. I say just talk to both Fabricator and let them know what you sanction it needs to pass and talk about added safety concern you have about it.

 

good tip.

i think a good approach might be find a reputable local cage builder that you would use, and talk to him about what your budget is (often the real limiting factor) and what you would like to achieve. maybe ask to look at the past cages he has built...

naturally you should read up on the rule book and share that with your builder so you can have intelligent discussions and brain storming sessions.
