So I've got the rule book, been reading it, and I need some clarifications. But first, a back story on why i'm doing this. So a friend of mine has this car for sale, I don't have the money, but he sticks some mooneyes on it and lays an injection scoop on the hood. It hit me like too many drinks, I went stupid, my wallet fell open and some how I ended up back home with this and the strongest desire to get this car in the 130mph club. (and a hang over, never trust a friend with a trailer when your drunk, you end up with junk in the yard.)
One thing it doesn't mention in the rule book is how much rust they will tollerate. This car has some rot, not horribly bad rot but it's there. How much of it are they going to make me patch? And how er, elegant do the patches need to be?
Roll cage, So the 130mph club is only the start for this thing, eventually I'll race it in a proper class. Now they say the minimum is a 4 point cage, but then the illustration is far more complex. I do want to keep this car streetable and at least some access to the (currently non existent) back seat. Since the inside of the car is already gutted, now is the time to get the cage in it. I was thinking an 8 point or 6 point setup. How low will they let me keep the door beams?
Brakes, are they going to complain about the OEM 11x2 single circuit drums? I mean, yeah the peddle is firm but, hauling this thing down from 150mph, I have some serious concerns about it stopping inside of 2 miles.
