grandmasterb Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I know the roll cage is probably the the single most expensive purchase to go racing, but after that it's all down hill.... Once the cage is in and you have the other safety items installed, you can go racing. To grater belief you don't need to have the car as fast as she can be or have new race rubber or the latest "go fast bits" ect..ect.. JUST GO RACING. Half the thrill is actually being out there and giving it a go. Learn the craft, become a better driver, have a s%#t load of fun and then... When time and budget permits, take the next step. Life is too short! I have stuff all money to go racing, so does Briggsie, Perry, Maxfeild..... The list goes on. You simply don't need a V8 SUPERCAR budget to live the dream. JUST DO IT! While you're still living and breathing..... If only it was that simple though...

You will need an approved harness, window net, extinguisher, battery isolator with remote pull wire so it can be operated from outside the car, race suit, plus your car will need to log booked with cams, plus a few other things CAMS website has a detailed list of requirements for circuit racing. For a good look in you could have a go at regularity, usually run by the MGCC at Symmons and the requirements are only same as running a club day I believe.

sav man Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 do you need a window net for TSS? I notice that not all of the cars had window nets last round.

t01-100 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 do you need a window net for TSS? I notice that not all of the cars had window nets last round. Yeah you do a window net (only Historic Touring Cars are exempt, Targa class used to be but no longer), they cost a bit over 100 with quick release brackets if too lazy to make some up! My cage for the RX7 will look like this. Allow $3500 + about $200 per bar extra. And thats the reduced price if you provide the car stripped and without glass fitted. Painting and padding is also extra.
