6-Point Custom LG Rollbar - The long version
I am currently running mid-11's in the car, and needed a cage. And on the juice, it'll hit a 10 with a good pass. So, it wasn't exactly safe. I started talking to Louis at LG about a rollbar. Dropped the car off with LG and this was the result. I'm happy with it, I think they did a great job.

I have several reasons I went with LG for the install. I know I could have done it elsewhere for less, or heck, I have a wire feed welder, I could have thrown one in myself. But would I trust my life with my welding? Honestly, no. This is why I went to LG. They build race cars for a living, and they race what they build. My life is most certainly worth that extra few hundred bucks. I've seen cages I wouldn't trust my life with. Crappy or spotty welds, dangerous bar placement, poor construction, and all that. If you doubt your cage's construction, then get it the heck out of your car. I don't doubt mine. :)
When I got to LG on Saturday morning, the car was supposed to be 'ready'. Oops, it wasn't. What I thought would take 1-2 hours ended up taking about 5. ;) But the results were well worth it. Here's a pic of my son, and what we did while waiting for the car in LG's shop. A little TV, a little Lego's, and a lot of candy. ;)
One of the things I was very curious about was how LG's dyno read when compared to Thunder Racing. For those that don't know, I have a solid roller GTP LS6-headed 346 (see My solid roller page for details). Anyhow, here's a pic of my car on the dyno at LG.
Here's the rig loaded up and ready to go home. Seems like it took FOREVER to get to this point. :)
And here's what I wish I could have been doing on the way home. This was probably the most relaxing part of the trip for me. ;)
And then, finally, at home.
