No, my money tree ain’t that big. I spend what my budget allows every year. Probably stay NA for the next 2 seasons then possibly ESS. We’re gonna get pretty aggressive in weight reduction and a different cam package.
I know what it’s legal to run without a cage. I’m putting a cage and Racetech seat in for my safety and my son’s safety. Most people only add safety when it’s required….i add safety because it’s always a priority.
That's cool. You could save on the cams and put that toward your power adder budget for next year, or the year after. Your car should be a mid 10 second car of faster with a converter at that weight.
It’s 10.5 at 132 now.
How much was the cage? Also don’t forget a HANS device or something similar.I won’t be relocating all the wiring at this time.
Yes, this car is a dedicated 1/4 mile track car. I specifically ordered this car 4 years ago to drag race only and never be street driven. The only goal was to spend time at the track with my son. It only has 850 miles on it
We pulled all the windshield wiper stuff the 1st year. All the AC/Heater components are being removed now. Optic Armor front and back windows are going in this spring. I’m also going to do carbon race doors with lexan which should save us another 80+ lbs. The goal is to be under 3200 with the cage along with keeping all the interior except for passenger and rear seat.
Yes, the cage is chromoly from Tin Soilders race cars.
To have the interior pulled, dash pulled, windshield and back window removed, cage installed and painted….then everything put back in….was about $6500. We’ve worn neck devices for the last 2 years.
Not a bad price, I was quoted 8-10k
Same here
I just looked at my invoice, it’s actually $7200. Definitely a huge investment, but along with the Racetech containment seat it lowers my anxiety when my son is driving the car
