    in my 2010 GCR, the roll cage rules are titled "2007 Roll Cage Rules. Ohhh, just looked at it. I thought the rear bar extanding backwards was a diagonal bar accross the top. Doh!

    Any suggestions on a good window net? Any that I should stay away from? It has been years since I purchased a new one!

    Well, the one I just installed is a 1inch web G-force, I tried the mesh/string style, and didn't like it....Safety Racing has a net that has a piece that fills up the A pillar gap if you don't have wing windows, I don't know if it SFI date tagged....
    I like cheap! But would prefer arm restraints instead of net, if we had the option....

    Was going to call one of them earlier then that so that I have time to fix anything they find wrong. Classroom session Friday night and then bright and early on Sat, so wouldn't have time to fix anything. Just need to finish the window net mounting. Figured out that I can use my old harness crotch belt after cutting the tab off of it.

    That's what I did on this miata....Croch/sub belt works well, and it has a date....(02)
    So Mitch S rented my Miata, I sold My ITA scirocco to Justin, I have an ITB rabbit, you have a golf, WE will all be in class together!

    P.S. I am bringing a 120v flux core welder & RV with generator just in case...

    Just as long as the net is SFI rated. M+R nets are good. I would prefer the webbing vs. Mesh type, but it's up to you. I definately prefer arm restraints over a windown net, they're just easier to deal with, and it takes less time to get out of the car b/c you're not fiddling with the net.
    Good luck at your school guys!!
