After the awesomeness of FD Atlanta and Triple Threat II, I've been inspired to head down to Miami for the D1 event... the problem is my car will not be ready in time. This is probably a long shot, but I'm hoping to borrow/rent a car with a cage. You'd have free track access and hotel room and maybe some left over tires.

I really want this to happen... wish I'd have felt like this 6 weeks ago so I could really plan ahead. Oh well... tell your friends.

hmmmm

for sure, thanks

would let you use mine but my cage does not pass there tech.

wait, will mine pass since its sleeved? passed NOPI but last FD it wouldnt pass

looking at my car...you will need to do a x-bar for the door, power outlet, and maybe modify the seat bracket, and hood/trunk pins.
i didnt see anything for the sleeves for the cage

doing an x bar will fix the the sleeved part of the cage if they do it clever. you might have to use a brand name seat rail. i think the battery is fine because it is in the stock location. trunk and hood pins are cheap.

I'd be glad to help on the door bars, I have a nice notcher, MIG/TIG and a bender if need be. and on anything else I can

Team DM coming together to make it happen.. Go Tony Shorts..

Cage will be fine as-is and can probably get by without a power cut off too. This event will be a little more relaxed.

so all that stuff in the rulebook abt the diff catch can etc etc.. is bs? no ziptied on body panels.. that would have excluded half the field of FD..

hopefully they learn from the mistakes made in LA at rd1.. huge thread on drifting.com abt lack of access.. amateur level course..$5 sodas..etc..

Anyone else going to this?
