From the looks of it, no cage is good enough to pass inspection

I know that one of the rules for the roll cage is that the main hoop needs to be one peice so i think that eliminates any bolted in roll bar.

The are not direction specific bro...good eye..but wrong. After blasting away with those tires on the right, we switched them to the left. Nashville puts a lot of strain on the right side tire on the banking.

Haha! That's why I bought a 911 Turbo although the GT3 is certainly more of a track car. Plus, we know it's all about the driver.

Congrats Sharif and Forged.

I did a motorcycle track day many years ago and recall the entry to the oval had some banking to it, and then gradually cranked up the angle...or am I mistaken.

I am not sure if they when the last time (if any) they have changed the amount of banking was at that track. Scott would probably know. I would venture to say that all banked ovals gradually get more banking through the turns.
