Ross we have a mini stock in the works for next year and have no intention of building a $ 65 cage like you have in your Thunder car in any of our cars . It does not cost us anywhere near $ 80 in fuel to go to Pete we have a fuel efficient hauler . You can get wrecked by an idiot at any race track as they are at all tracks even Kawartha in the Thunder car class from what i understand . Our car is really not that bad i just have a busy work week coming up and will have to find some time to get it ready so we can go back and win both heats and the main next week and maybe exact a little revenge .
Friend, you are now talking about starting a demolition derby, on a track, without a cage.. Think about it...
As for 80 bucks, I live down the road from Peterborough Speedway, and thats what it cost me to haul to sunset and back in a 1/2 ton 2-door Ram Hemi, towing 5,000 lbs. Lets say you tow with an electic car, and it cost you $30 bucks in hydro.. After your trip next week you are still around the same price as the tube.
I understand you are building a mini next year (going to try and get the rules change for no cage there?
). But unless you are a welder/fitter by trade, you are not going to the best job at your 1st cage. Why not practice installing one in your 4-fun car, so that when you get into your new build, you are that much better at it...
Besides, you will need to buy a seat and a cell for mini class anyhow, why not buy them now, and get the use out of them this year?
