I built the Honda with a full cage like Joe is talking about. For all the
reasons he stated and because I believe it will give me more room inside to
mount things like fire bottles etc. It also has the funny car cage like he
talked about, which gives you a very secure feeling. You won't really save
anything in the way of tubing. So put in the full cage and you'll be ready
for any motor or any class you want to run.

Subject: Roll Cage
> I'm getting ready to start work on my "new" 1953 Studebaker. The roll
cage illustration in the rule book seems to favor a full width cage design
which encompasses the passenger side of the car too. What about the style
similar to what is found in many roadsters where there are two hoops one
right in front of and one right over the driver's head, with two loops down
the back connecting to a horizontal hoop around the shoulder area. All
braced with appropriate forward and rearward legs, of course? It seems like
this type of cage gives more complete coverage and better protection for the
driver than the typical full front seat arrangement.
