    I was recommended strange by several people. I'm looking into seal retainers right now. I'm defintely not 100% happy with the outcome but if it runs great with the retainer then great.

    Oh and if anyone cares I'll be racing the duel in the desert. The first MORE race of the season. I'm pushing to finish some stuff up but if all goes as planned It should be my first race.

    Ideally yes, but with my job im leaving to the sandbox again in May maybe April. It's only 150 mile race. I think I can handle it just to get my toes wet. I'm going to run that course as much as I can once I get her up and running. It's less than 20 miles from my house. We will see I'm not registered yet but I'm still going to try for it.

    When they say "bro dozer", they don't mean for you to actually put a dozer blade on it.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Hard to tell from the picture, but what thickness material did you use for the gussets? If you're trying to get score tagged they need to be 3"x3"x.125" (or you can use tube gussets).

    As for "where" to put gussets. They need to be on all main intersections on the main cage including diagonal and rear down braces, and "anywhere single weld fractures can affect driver’s safety."

    Used 1/8'', gussets are 4''x4''x.125''. So basically need gussets on all tube connections?
