Is chassis bracing worth the weight?
 
I purchased a 96 spec miata race car for a track day car. It is fully caged. Is there any other chassis bracing that is worth the weight when combined with a full cage? I read a few threads that seem to indicate that after a full cage any other bracing has nominal improvement. My frame rails are pretty dinged up. Otherwise the car seems pretty straight and tight. The car has an FM turbo pushing about 200 whp. Thanks.

If you have a cage...no need for any bracing really. Frame rails might be the only thing throwing on if yours are really damaged but that is about it.

Thanks for the advice.

<p>Maybe fender braces &quot;frog arms&quot;&nbsp;might be the only thing worth considering</p>

I'm in University Park. I think I took footage of you at TWS back in April. The skittles video of all the spec cars pulling out for the enduro on Sunday.
