Only place local to do cages quoting me 8 hours at $125/hour to install a cage I bring them!!!

$1k just to install, didn't bother asking what they would charge to build me one after that quote.

Unless you are running 9.99 or quicker and I think +135mph you don't need a liscense, which means no certification of anything.

But yea, swing outs are legal, wolfe offers em with their kits.

Just quoting what Wolfe's website said on the swingouts, but they may also be saying that for certification purposes. I didn't find anybody online that was unsatisfied with it, but it is good to hear from someone firsthand that it fits nice.

Shoveling... UPS truck pulls up... I pause and slow my breathing, ready to react in between heart beats...

I see him, climbing out of the truck with an F-body rollbar... Then I blink, and it turns into a box with a Disney Frozen bike...

Safety back on, shoveling continued.... Stay tuned.
