9/17/2023 0 Comments Roll cage design![]() The bottom pic is me driving it back to the pits from the crash spot showing pre repair.Īnd here are a couple bare chassis pics from when it was new Photobucket is a piece of shit so no matter what I do I can't change the order of these pictures. We cut the front hoop off and raced in the main earning a 3rd place podium spot after starting dead last. The main cage didn't bend at all, it just smooshed the nose in. When the A pillar digs in thats what pile drives the nose into the dirt. If you watch the video in segments you can see we roll over off the other cars tire, straight to our driver A pillar. The sudden stop was hard enough to knock my dad (driver) out in a vehicle that with our HANS devices our helmets CANNOT touch anything. It pitched us straight to the A pillar and caused us to violently endo pirouette to a barrel roll. Our right rear comes down on his left rear and I think we were going about 20 mph faster than him. I saw the speedometer at 70 mph when we hit the jump, but we land on the slower car. At 2:42 I tell dad "we got him" and dad hammers down. If you watch the first two minutes you can see us trying to get around a car that's swerving around wildly, so while we need to get past him we're trying not to get taken out by him at the same time. We're racing and get cut off by one competitor who checks up and allows a much slower rig to get in front of us.
