Re: How far from the cage?

On the street - Think about that truck starting to back up and he doesn't see you back there;or the guy in back of you in the Suburban who doesn't quite stop in time and pushes you under the truck.Or stuffing the car,God forbid,under an Armco barrier/highway rail.If your spider is fiberglass,pressed steel or even composite,I think I'd want the cage there to keep everything from crushing into the back firewall before it stopped! I did not want a cage initially but changed my mind.I'll pad the tubes and take my chances on a bruised forehead.Ask the guys who make these cars what they have in their own street car.
