What I don't see is anything saying they must be one continuous piece of tubing. Make it bolt together say a foot from the hoop and carry the rule book with you. Done right it may be the strongest part of the cage. For sure it will be stronger than front swing out bars.


That might work at some tracks but it won't work at all of them. One of the EFI cars that I tune got bounced because the rear down bars were bolted together. He had to get them welded before the car would pass tech. His local track allowed him to run but as soon as he started towing to out of town races he got put on the trailer.
