There's a place in Fleetwood (unsure of name- it was called LB metals, I think but name changed recently) that is like a salvage yard and you can get sheet metal, tubing, old machinery, etc. real cheap. It's always going to vary what you find there though like at Harry's but cheap... Just as fun as going into a candy store! Larry can be occupied for HOURS there!

We just got tubing from Bloomsburg Metals and they delivered. They MAY deliver to you- can always call them and say to drop some off when they are in the area again.

BEFORE!!!!

Before you go buying random piping that is not going to be sufficient for what you are looking to do, check the new rules out.....I will be posting them up within a week or so now, so just hold off a little longer!!!

We have NEW rules regarding roll cages and their construction, so make sure you abide by these new requirements BEFORE you spend the money on insufficient materials.

If you do go to a home improvement store, make sure the bars are at least 1 3/4" in diameter and have a wall thickness of .90".

Exhaust pipes ARE NOT SAFE to use in roll bar/cage construction. Pipes are to remain hollow....we will be checking for pipes filled for added weight.

AFTER!!!

After you've constructed your roll cage, make sure your welds are clean and correct! Improper welding will not allow the cage to do what it is intended to do...protect you!

I have a few sample photos for proper welding that will be included in the new rules. Cages with bad welds will be judged at the speedway....if a cage is overrun with bad/unsafe welds, we may ask the driver not to participate.

So, go over your work and make sure you tie up any loose ends before you get to the track in 2010.
