Cobra roll bar safety

[Double Venom]

patrickt,

You know I have an opinion IF you have ONE 3 POINT then you had better have a screw in/on gas cap under that LeMans cap! Not knocking Superformance since they were already mentioned concerning a roll-over, they just happened to be involved in a extreme-critical roll over at Run N Gun years ago. "DV" was right behind, getting tready to pass when the SF rolled. It did what all Cobras do with a 3-point, the left side of the car (with the roll bar) held up the left side of the car, keeping the driver uninjured, but the car naturally pivoted on the top of the bar, forcing the right rear of the car into the payment--tearing up the LeMans cap allowing fuel to pour out and instantly catch fire.

Ron Rosen (Superformance) asked me what we had done to prevent that type of accident in the "DV's"? When DV finally got off the track I showed Ron how we adapted the filler tube to take an OEM gas cap. Since it is mounted below the neck of the LeMans cap, you would have to literally grind the entire cap down before it would reach the OEM gas cap.

Within a month (?) all SF's that I know of, now came with the modification!

4-Point vs. two 3-points? Hmm, Id have to see a full -in slow motion- video of both types in a roll over and then compare damages. Since "We" don't have a third person in our cars () I really can't see the benefit of one 4-point vs. two 3-pointers.
