Re: Of Roll Cages, Fuel Bladders & Fire Systems

my understanding is that roll cages in a street car are ill advised since you will not be wearing a helmet and striking the cage in a crash is a certainty. I certainly understand the benefits in a rollover which I suspect is far less likely than an upright crash in these cars. A fire system is a must and you should not use Halon in the interior since it displaces oxygen. One of the new water soluble foams is a better alternative in a 40. Fuel bladder would also be a welcomed addition, pricey though. But cheap if it saves your butt.
