Mondello want the car to be not spewing fluids everywhere, but that's it. No cage required. The same story with WGH and Goldstone. Up North don;t want scrappers as they are trying to improve the scene.

No man they wouldnt give a fook!!
there does be so meny cars there they do be just trying
to keep things runin smoothly..
there does be a green 520 their the odd time a
and its a bucket!!:D so if that can get on id say nearly anytin can...

[Greg]

I don't know. Is a convertible much more dangerous than a car with no cage?? I rmemeber somebody enquiring about that before and Mondello had no problem with it. You're buying a convertible and trying to disguise what you really want to know into a general question to try and confuse us. I'm guessing you graduated recently. :p

emmm, yes!!? upside down, head...squash!


i see. still trying to find me a some track wrecker!

[Greg]

Ya but car with no cage and head squash also. The only thing supporting the roof is two more pillars. There's not a whole lot of support there. So, convertible = head squash and tarmac burn. Normal car = head squash and no burn.

well ya never know, they mightnt be insurance covered for burns :D

[Greg]

Chicks dig scars though. the smart money is on a convertible. :D

dont think theres much difference flippin a convertable to a hardtop with no cage, and speed atall and your a gonner. never heard anything about no convertibles for things.... actually, i know for a fact that mondello and kirkstown allow them cuz ive seen convertibles witgh no cages at trackdays at both

[Aidan Hogan]

for starters do we really have the weather for having the roof down ??
:(
and also even if ya had a cage in a convertible you would want ta be strapped in verrrrrrrrrry tight cause if you flip it theres no roof to stop the head scrapping haha

[will_c]

cage it for strength!if ya look around the sxoc theres a chopped s13 i thinks real ratty yoke used for drifting in the us..
