Nothing special, nothing fast. :)

Sounds like you're preparing a killer bracket racer ... ;)

No, I told you before I will not have much time to race when everything goes as planned.
But, maybe I drive a few times because I am not working in the OSL Team no more so I have time then and I can race a little?

Well, I would like to say I'm saving up for a 9", but the reality is that it will probably not happen. I am planning on some chromoly pushrods as well, though. If Rampage buys my wheels, I will probably buy those BBS from my cousin.. I also want to have my paint job refreshed. We will see. If I get the 9" I will be happy as can be. :)

Aww shut up man.. You don't need any more mods. Now you need appearance mods, like wheels and some stuff to dress up all that power you now have.

Mine is not even noticable with the windows down. Most people wont give it a second look. If you have to put a halo in there, then its a differant story, but you're not gonna need one while your car is still streetable

Man, it looks like you live in a rich neighborhood.. :) Looks good Rob. Your interior is really clean. Probably because you didn't screw it up trying to paint it.. :o

This is the one I have. I got it on GP awhile ago (forgot where)
http://www.thunderracing.com/images/wolfecage.jpg

Really easy to install, except the front braces which you have to drill thru the framerail, and its real close where your subframes weld up.

Its not Chrome moly.

As far as rules, its all about who techs you. Legally the Wolf is not acceptable because the side bars are to low. They are suppose to be in the middle of your body (more technical, but you get the idea). Not sure about the speeds, only book I have right now is the NMRA rule book. You should be good to 9.99 with a 6pt I'll post specifics later.

BTW mine is a bolt in, but it would be easy enough to weld it up if I wanted to.
