Well I've finally moved south so I can drive the cars all year long. Now that I'm in my new (to me) home I'm back to work on the Firebird. The 14 car was the first "Bird of the month" here at SCC

I'm working on finishing up installation of a roll cage, full containment seats, and fire systems. I know it's a little extreme for a restoration type forum but figured its a bird and its a bit different so you might be interested.

Hoop; I'll get the pic as soon as I get the car out of the garage!

Thats alot of effort and thought going into that car, i did have a quick flick through the link you posted.

Without sounding rude or dum ( im too lazy to read through it all properly! ) but what is / are the intentions for the car?

My intentions / use

Keep the car registered and streetable.

Continue to ccasionally drag race the car at the strip. (it will never be really quick but it's fun)

Continue to move up in NASA's HPDE classes at road race tracks and eventually run time trials.

Continue to attend Top Speed events at the ECTA and eventually go to Bonneville where I'd like to hit 200 MPH

start entering Open road racing events with the goal of running in the unlimited class.

Use the car for testing and promotion of products for a new company I started.

Although the car wasn't required to have a rollbar at drag races the tech officials kept giving me grief about the harness setup.

At the ECTA I was limited to 135 MPH without rollover protection and harnesses attached to a rollbar. They let me get away with 136-37 but warned me that over 140 just once and they'd ban me till I had a rollbar.

At Road Atlanta the NASA events officials came to my pits and had a little chat about the speeds I was going without a cage.

I figure since I like to spend a lot of time well over 100 MPH I'd better get some serious equipment so that if something does go wrong I might live to play another day even if the car s totaled. Here's the type of thing that can happen at top speed events. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk5DTlgAtt4

Whats the company ? Is it Bird based?

Im glad to hear that youre keeping it street legal, thats just the BIZ!!

As for the link, safety has to be paramount, either that or a " self righting " mechanism built in.......

Yes for Birds. I'll give details when I "announce" the products. First I gotta figure out how to get rid of the cover in my signiture. I intended it to be an avatar. Now I can't seem to deleate it! It's huge and annoying!

LOL , if my car made the cover i think id make it bigger!!

Good luck mate and keep us all informed........ will you be remembering us poor souls trapped across the pond??

Thanks to Hoop my sig isn't screaming anymore!

Yes will be selling overseas.

Do i get a discount on whatever it is cos im a cheeky chappie from the old world?

im glad theres the pond between us, so you cant reach out and slap me!
