This isn't the first time I've had this kind of reaction at the tips of my fingers.

That said - i have an Elda bar that's slated for removal from my car and will be up for sale whenever I get off my lazy duff...

Are you just selling to get a better rollbar?
No track time this year - i dumped a ton of cash into my house already.

But i've already bought Matt's roll bar so i wanted to swap them out. So i have an extra one. Steve i'll PM you later.

Please by rollbar first. Rollbar is like a parachute, you only need it once but if you needed it and you don't have it then you're probably not going to need it anymore.

IIRC, the main reason the cusco bar isn't SCCA legal is the tubing is just slightly thinner than is required (I have no idea how the cusco bar mounts to the car though, so maybe that's a weak point too). I've seen s2k's in the accident thread that have rolled with them and they held up very well. Definitely a big step up from the stock roll hoops.

Ooh I wanna try one...roll bars are like condoms...don't use one and your life might be OVER in just a few seconds (although one you may have 9 mos to contemplate and one is more of the instantaneous nature)

Allison - I hear you on the house being a money pit. I feel like my paycheck should come by way of home depot gift card. Glad to hear you're not out of the game entirely.

For Hyperfest, we got roughly 75 minutes of track time, so I can see how you are saying you get "more for your money".

There is an event October 1 and 2nd for $365 for two days. Anyone going to that one?
I may be attending that one. We'll see once it gets closer.
