Looking to have a custom cage done for HPDE & TT events (and who knows what else). Sadly, Chris Shimmel is unavailable for a couple of months. Are there local alternatives that you track junkies have had good experience with?
Thanks,
Cash

For what car? Roll Cage Components in Va. builds a fine cage for a good price IMO. They sell DIY or they can do it all for you.

I know how to build a nice cage, but it will cost you $1,000,000

Performance chassis does build cages, and the ones I've seen have been well done, . But he's been very busy as of late. Here's Mark's number give him a call 919-466-0553.
He's a club sponsor so support him.

Looks like I'll have to wait til Mark gets back from VIR Monday to discuss. :D

Plenty of other work to do in the meantime.
