I hadn't looked far enough down on that page to see the pics he had of the cage.

The quality of that cage is fine. But it doesn't conform to many rules. It does not follow the Appendix C of the Solo II rules. What this means is that for autocross probably nobody will ever complain. I am assuming you are running in a closed car (with a roof as opposed to a convertible). Closed cars don't have to have a bar or cage in any Stock, SP or Prepared class. So the conventional wisdom is that any bar is better than no bar. Since you don't need to have the bar you adding one of almost any style is ok to most people.

But..... as a warning. If you get a real anal tech inspector (again where I said that there are only a handful of people in the country that fully understand the autocross roll bar/cage rules) they may not let you run with it. But you would be allowed to run with no bar/cage. I know it is stupid, but by the "letter" of the rules that is how it is.

I don't think your chances of running into such a tech inspector are very likely. So...... I'd probably go for it.

As far as track schools, again they have no requirement for closed cars either. And each sanctioning body may have a different interpretation of what is safe. I would think most of them would allow that bar/cage to run.

If I were you, I would get a hold of an SCCA rulebook about roll cages. I don't have one and I don't know if it is avaialble online (I suspect that it is not). I have an old one at home, but I am sure someone here has access to a newer one. Read the road racing cage rules as they apply to your car as an Imporved Touring and a Production Class road race car. Make sure that the Cusco cage has tubing that is at least the diamter, material, and wall thickness these classes require. If it is I'd get it.

I know that the design does not meet these rules, but it can be added on to where it does eventually come up to these specs, if it is made out of the right material. If a track school requires you to add a cross brace, you can have one added, or whatever as needed. If you find out that it is made from tubing that is not adequate, by the SCCA rules then I would stay away from it. It is not a great design from a safety point of view, and you would wind up completely replacing it if you ever decide to do anything else.

My opinion is, as deliverd, that cage is mostly for the ricer crowd to impress people on the street with the fact that they have a cage in their car. It adds very little to the car in safety.

My opinions, remember what they cost you
