Roll Bar Construction

[Dan Stokes]

Yep, I'm in Wilmington, NC, in the far SE corner of the state.  I'm NOT the roll bar expert - just know what I'm learning doing mine.  Contact me thru the ECTA website and we'll talk.

Dan,  may I ask if you live in NC and if so where?  The reason I ask is I may need to pick your brain on roll cage info.  I am building a vintage type LSR as a 1933 Ford Vicky Hi Boy.... I wanted to run a 255 SBC motor but just found out that the bore is to small to get the valve size and runner size to make the HP I want,,  unless I spend more on the heads than the entire body and chassis cost...  I Thought the cage was to built for the speed I would run the car, not the current record of the class,,,  from what I think I just read ... say I build a  C/CGALT car  and I only plan on going 130 mph , but the current record is say 159 mph  do I have to go by the safety  rules for the 159 mph or the rules for the speed I am going to run?

Thanks

Charles
