I know the back and forth sometimes can be frustrating for the two parties trying to make the point, but on this website, it is often educational for the rest of us.

I followed the original OLC and the trailer for a few miles on the road after watching it run at Barbers in Alabama and it was cool to see the car in vivo. This one looks like it is going to be an extension of what you learned from the first build.

The evolution of the original OLC is certainly weighing on the OLC2 build. Likewise the work that we've done to this point on 2 is largely responsible for the OLC.R modifications that are underway now. The big difference is that the OLC was never intended to be a race car although as time has progressed it has straddled the line a bit more than I anticipated at first. That being said, there are events or circumstances that I am simply not comfortable running with the OLC regardless of its evolution. I would really like to run the Spectre 341 event but I won't without a full cage. I would really like to compete in the Targa, and the Chihuahua, and and and... but I can't without a full cage. And to reaffirm my thinking I urge anyone who has not seen Jeremy Foley's crash on Sunday to take a look and think about the unthinkable.

2 will be an extention, and an evolution, and it will be a step over that line...

I thought I might post up a small update on the progress of the rollcage in James Shipka's car.

If 1 picture says a 1000 words, This should be enough. Broc has done an awesome job on the rollcage in this car.
