The track rules are reasonably standardized in the US. I think what Bosswrench is referring to is on cars that really don't fit the profile easily there are decisions that the Tech Team needs to make. That could vary some from track to track. The window in the Pantera is one of those points that creates a problem that a Mustang doesn't.

A fiberglass panel over the nose of the engine hardly serves as a firewall either.

I think though that it depends on what you want to do with your car. If you want to race it you need to decide under what rules or category (maybe is a better word).

If you just want to run open track events with various car clubs then the vintage GP4 roll cage would be a good compromise to give you some added protection.



You would be better off running in one of the Vintage classes but it is difficult to turn a street car into a vintage racer if the car has no former race car log book.

You could attempt to race the car in one of the current GT classes but why? You would be racing against very high tech, high dollar race teams with an antique?

Even in the vintage classes you are probably going to spend a couple of hundred thousand a year on the car to campaign it. Engines alone for something like a 289 that is competitive costs in the $30,000 range and you can't run the season on just one engine.
