I'd be more worried about the pack of NA's chasing me down

Thanks very much. I will take some pics shortly as the car is having a little "work" done at the moment. Stay tuned as they say.

Hey CT, nice pics!

I notice u run a hard top with a cage, does the 2'' cams rule apply to your class?
If so how tall are you? or what have you done to make it legal?

Cheers Rob

Robbie, I am vertically challenged at 5\"6 so with the race seat bolted to the floor, I have about 5 inches from my head to the roof. Having a full roll cage also helps. The 2in rule is an issue with an open car, not a roofed car as I understand. 8)

I'm 5'11\" and run a rollbar low enough to clear a hardtop and still fit under the 2\" rule.

Hey Guys, thanks for the replys.

CT, thanks for clearing that up, however in some circles the hard top is a grey area apparently, especially with the Rex club and hence the Vic club won't run with them anymore, or more to the point they won't allow us to run with them, saying its due to the 2\" rule hardtop or no hard top, i just wish there was some consistency amoung the Cams affiliated clubs.

Cal i'm in the same boat at 5\"10, racing beat bar, i just scrape in too.

Cheers Rob

That's a joke. So it's no problem for racing but it's an issue for sprints. :roll:

Yup, thats about the size of it, damn shame really as the Rex club host a pretty good event when its all said and done.
