That's a really good project, but it's hard to part with $3,500 on a do-it-yourself 850.

So think about which cross bracing would you like to see gone, as you go somersaulting down the track at 100+mph ?
I'm am always amazed at what a good roll cage can provide. I've seen cars go airborne before rolling end over end multiple times, and the driver gets out with little more than a bruised ego. Life saved due to all of that crazy tubing.

My PB on the track is 4:54 , but I had beans the night before so technically it was wind assisted. No roll cages were used.

That thing is super clean. '94 too, so you've already got the best B230FT you could get.
