the cage is welded in in ALL locations to 1/8 plate, some small but as tertech rules state that the floor plates must be 1/8 thick and no less than 2" on any side. the turtec rules do not stipulate a total area or anything else on length beside that.
both governinig bodies allow for cage bars to meet at floor plates as long as they conect to one another or are nore more than 1/4 inch apart from one another.
the cage was going to have to be modified (diagonal brace addition) to be run in tur tech and rob was happy with just having a stiffened chassis for the time being.
and as far as welding to bends, not one of them is... perhaps its just your vision but every one of the bars is welded undernith the bends...
i dont know why you'r in here bashing on robs car. what your problem is but perhaps your lack of professionalism (and willingness to make sure you know what your talking about before you run your mouth) has hurt your buisness enough that your forced to try and degrade other people's work to try to stimulate your own buisness.
nice try but i've got half a dozen cages i've built and sent to the trackand i've never once had one not pass tech inspection at gainesville.
