Wow, very cool. Are you turning it into a dedicated track car or a fun 2 seater and track car combo?

Well done! You could definitely still strap in the kiddie seat

Is work still kicking your butt? When is the next track weekend?

Did it stiffen things up noticeably (the car, that is)?

Default how much does something like that cost? And what percent of track injuries/fatalities are due to

rollovers? Just curiuos on the efficacy and value of a 1/2 cage....

Default I have an A4 as a daily driver

This one is a street legal track car. I have no room for a trailer, so this one needs to get to and from. Besides that it is a track car / R&amp;D vehicle.

Roll bar is in the rear only, but will the front portion in a year or so. Need to save pennies for tires.

Default Work and the kid take most of my time.

But I will start hunting for some real events for you to come out. There are plenty at Pacific Raceways.
