Last year I purchased a g-prod Spitfire roller with zero roll rear
suspention, rear disc brakes, ect,ect. The car had been in
transformation
to Runoffs quality. The previous owner didn't have time to finish it
with
family and job commitments. I stole this car from Todd. Then SCCA
changed
the cage rules. I now have a car with one of safest looking cages I've
seen that can't run SCCA races. I guess I'll stay with Midwestern
Council
until they change there rules.

Thankfully the first email I wrote out didn't go through...Greg, if you
got a
copy please feel free to forward it to the group...I didn't save a copy!
All I'll say about the new roll cage rule is:
I'm not happy about it and neither are 100 other Production Car racers.
