    Its important to read the rule book, I've had people build their own cages and fail tech, just because it looks like a monkeys playing frame don't mean its strong.
    I agree except for the .134 thats a lot of extra weight. Most circle burner rules around here say 1 1/2 .095 minimum D.O.M.
    I retrack the .134 statement as I didn't see that it was for drag racing.
