Just One Question?

What do you need a cage for Auto X or Drag Racing?

Silverbullet, in drag racing if your car is in a certain division, such as street class, or outlaw, then you are required to have a roll cage, helmet, and so on. I believe that as long as you are not in any of the classes then you dont have to have a roll cage. But I am positive that you do need them for drag racing, especially if you compete in the classes.

Roll bar for autocross? Hmm. You must be expecting some crazy speed + sharp turns to expect to roll your P5, heh. Just admit it, you got your bar for looks.

I think SCCA Solo 1 requires a roll bar.
Not required for Autocross at all.

At least he got the proper one from AWR that they made for the Protege5 pace car..

just admit it flat out that you got the roll bar purely for looks... trying to stick in a word about autox so you don't look like a pure ricer is a waste of time

uhhh whatever... how is that "roll cage" going to LEGALLY allow him to drag race? It's not even NHRA certified/sanctioned!

So what man, i'm all with you about this damn rice **** too, i know i have a large hate for it, just check some of my threads, but it is about time we stop making fun, of our fellow mazda brothers, i know we all hate hondas, altezzas, and chromed out fire extinguishers, but maybe someday he is planning on running 11's someday, but most likely hes not, but who are we to judge, how someone spends thier money........................

Wasent that the most PC **** youve heard, i'm just joking you guys, i judge what ever the hell i want, i think its riced out as hell, maybe you could paint it silver, and that would make it really bling, blinged, for the autoshow.

You know what i'm sick of hearing this "to each his own", my grandpa says **** like that, and if he wasent my grandpa, i'd slap the old off of him. You know what i'm going to buy a 79 civic hb, and mold altezzas, in the back, and put really "cool" decals on it, and put some 20's on it, and roll tuff.

Sorry guys i had a bad day, no didnt, i'm just trying to be nice, to much on this forum, do we spend to much F-ing time on talking about cupholders, and phone holders, then actual ****, like these damn cars have engines. I think some people on this forum dont even know thier is a engine in thier car.

"When thier is doubt of being tack, dont buy, let someone thats stupid do it, then buy if looks good!"

Really sorry about this whoever cares, all probably make some of you mad, but all never see you guys in real life, so who cares, i guess i'm a *****.

Sorry THEman this is really out of place, but i felt like venting

I guess i get made fun of to much! HA
