I might add, that in order to pass tech inspection your rollbar must be higher than your helmet covered head. If you are not sure if your car will pass tech, you can bring the car down to my shop and I can go over it with you  . Wheel bearings, fuel and brake line routing, loose items, overflow/puke tanks, fluid leaks, etc all need to be addressed for starters. Next will be your safety harnesses (are they outdated?), helmet (SA2005 and up, make sure you have them properly fit at a shop that knows how to do this, do not buy them online as each helmet and each manufacturer has a different fit). Also keep in mind you are in an open cockpit car, I usually wear my 2 layer fire suit, but decent lace up sneakers, jeans, and long sleeves will be all that is required to pass most tech inspections. If this is your first time at the track, you might consider not taking the cobra and taking your daily "sports oriented" driver if you have one. If not, then you want to take the time to really learn your car, it's not about how fast you can drive it, but how smooth you can drive it around a certain course. Speed comes later..........
Hope you guys find this helpful.
