I agree with you completely on this one. I just can't get my self to build a cage that will make the car not as much fun to drive on a daily bases. If I go and make it a full cage then I need to get all the other things certified. At that point I might as well remove a ton more weight and make the car run low 9's. Then I will have another tin can race car that won't be used much anymore. I always got to stay focus on what I built this thing for, to be ran all seasons and to work on FE strategies.
