Cage is looking great so far guys!!! Can't wait to see the finished product.

As mentioned above, VS Motorsports will be sponsoring me this season. I will be running NASA TTS in the Midwest Region.

Anyone needing work performed to your street car or racing build, this is the place to go in the Chicagoland area. They have extensive knowlege and capabilities to get things done. I am proud to be part of their team this upcoming season.

Stay tuned for updates as preparation of this car continues.

Is it spring yet???

Weight was 2860 before the cage. At that time it had an autopower bolt in roll bar and several other stiffening devices. With all these removed and the cage installed hopefully weight will be just short of 2900.

We will be able to tell once we get it on the alignment rack and are able to corner balance it. Hopefully we dont have to put you on a diet.

More info about the season schedule and history of the car can be found on the blog address down in my signature. Become a follower to get updates and leave feedback.

More cage pictures to come soon from VS Motorsports. Once the cage is complete and some final changes are made to the car I will be posting an introductory post in the motorsports section of this forum. Feedback from track testing and race reports will be posted on a regular basis in that section.
