Roll Cage Required For Unregistered Track Car?

[BLK-51N]

Hi I'm in the middle of building my r33 track car and as it is unregistered do I require a full cage or a half cage enough for track days/sau championships events

You don't need a cage unless you're entering some sort of cams class that requires a cage.

What Michael said.

There are some cool advantages to having a cage though,,,especially a full one.

1/ You will feel so much safer whilst thashing the crap out of her.

2/ You will now have proper anchoring points for a full harness and again you will feel safer whilst thrashing the f**king crap out of her.

3/ If you jack her up in the right spot you can change 3 wheels at once.

Cheers

Neil.

I just have a bolt in half cage which I know is not as good as a proper one but as Neil said, the car is much nicer to drive with it in. It feels so much more planted.

Thanks for your help guys I've opted for a weld in half cage with side intrusion bars and harness bar done by McQueen Motorsport.

well it might be a bit late, but to answer your question, possibly yes.

In many sup regs cars which are not registered need a log book. And a log book needs a CAMS certified cage.

Instead of generic interweb advice, I'd check with the clubs you intend to run with.

[BLK-51N]

Certified cams half or full cage?

[BLK-51N]

I'm only new to the track scene and the only tracks days I'll be running in is anything I see on here and the sau championships.

I'm Not sure what clubs there are I could go through. So any info would be very helpful.

If you only plan on entering SAU days then you'll be fine with whatever you decide to fit.

Can anyone expand on the Vic drifting requirement for a cage? Is that only for the guys in the actual competition, not the guys just out there having fun. Or do they not run them on the same day, and there are different events for amateurs that just want to have some track time

Ended up going a full cage 6 point with a few extras so I can enter wtac open class next year from mcqueen motorsport. Set me back around $2500 including mounting seats.

[gtr jet]

What's making you go open class instead of club sprint?

[BLK-51N]

Car is unregistered.

[gtr jet]

Ah yep, had that issue before.

[BLK-51N]

[BLK-51N]

Bit late but you need CAMS specification half cage as a minimum for any Vicdrift event at all, you won't be allowed on the track without one, no matter what the event is or what class you are in.

Gday mate. Yeah read through the regs and will be picking up an AGI bolt in half cage

[BLK-51N]

What ever you do don't go to mcqueen motorsport! Owner is the biggest lazy f**k and shit talker going around!

Finally got my car back after so long.
