A lot was learned from that wreck at WSIR back in Dec. 12.

I'd like to purpose a rule change mandating ALL Boxsters have what we call "FIA" bars added (FIA is the org who mandated that tube for all FIA sanctioned events)

yes, indeed.

the accident of which Brad speaks...





and the resultant additions to my car after the inspection. The FIA bars were only one of the several additions. Granted, my cage was already beefier in material and diameter choice but it doesn't hurt to add more tuning. (well, other than the obvious weight penalty) The new 991 cup cars have a very similar bar in the factory cages this year too.
