Updates to new Mastersbilt cars? Halo, cage?

[pinionangle]

I noticed on Jimmy Mars, Bobby Labontes and a few other masterbilt cars at the dream that they have added a small bar that runs from the halo to the back loop behind the seat. Is this standard on all of the 07 cars? After Mr. Mitcham was killed a few months back i wondering if Masters has added some updates. http://www.rickschwalliephotos.com/2007/24eldora/18.html

Yeah our 07' has that bar. Plus the bar the runs from one corner to the next on the roof is slid over towards the pass side some more. Our car also has another bar behind the seat near the 90/10 plates, going across.

My advice would be to add that bar on BOTH sides, if you have an older car, and then gusset both sides of both front down tubes from the halo and the rear down tubes of the halo. I have seen a number of MB's with cracked or collapsed halo's due to wrecks and I have seen one that had those additions and the halo survied a flip (landed on the halo) intact. The car was raced again while the others were junked.
