Tally ho, I'm in
I might as well get in on this as well. I was concerned about a halo bar and it being close to my head. I opted for an eight point bar instead of the cage route. Main hoop(away from my head) braced with door bars to front of floor, rear bars to trunk area and bars from main hoop and cross bar to subframe connectors. I needed more safety because of HP level, but I did not need an all out cage. It will qualify me to run in the 10's at the strip, I can remove the door bars(bolted in) to cruise the streets and bolt them back in for the occasional track day. If I need to go open road racing then I feel a full on cage is a must.
With all of that being said. Steve's new 68 as a cage certified to run 8's at the strip and his Halo bar is padded. I would rather hit that padded halo bar in a crash than my head on the roof seal. Obviously, a full cage is going to give more protection than my set-up...just pad the halo or any other bars that you could come in contact with.
I went my route by being honest with the use of my car. 80% street and 20% track events with enough horsepower to get me in trouble at either place.
