MidWestCup Rules:

All MidWestCup (MWC) entrants must comply with all ClubFR General Rules in addition to the MidWestCup Rules.

Participants that hold a Formula Drift license are not eligible to enter MWC.

A coolant overflow tank is required.

Vehicles must have arm restraints, window nets, or windows up during competition.

Helmet must be Snell Memorial Foundation – SA2005, SA2010

Roll cage is required

Roll Cage:

The basic purpose of the roll cage is to protect the occupant if the car

turns over, runs into an obstacle, or is struck by another car. It shall be

designed to withstand compression forces from the weight of the car

coming down on the roll cage structure and to take fore/aft and lateral

loads resulting from the car skidding along on its roll cage structure.

The main components of the roll cage must be made of the same material,

size and thickness of tubing.

Tubing must be a minimum diameter of 1.5" and a minimum thickness of .095" for

cars up to 3500 pounds.

All hardware used in the mounting of structural supports shall be SAE Grade 5 or

better with a 5/16" minimum diameter.

Main Hoop:

The main hoop (behind the driver) shall extend the full width of the

driver/passenger compartment and shall be as near the roof as possible with

a maximum of 4 bends, totaling 180 degrees ± 10degrees.



The main hoop should start from the floor of the vehicle.



The main hoop shall incorporate a diagonal lateral brace to prevent lateral

distortion of the hoop.



It is recommended that a section of tubing shall be installed horizontally from the

main hoop to the diagonal brace behind the drivers seat.

The main hoop must be securely mounted by means of welding or bolting.

Mounting plates must be used if any points of the main hoop are mounted to the

chassis of the vehicle.

Rear Main Hoop Supports:

The main hoop shall have two supports extending to the rear. Supports shall be

attached as near as possible to the top of the main hoop.

No bends are allowed on rear supports.

On cars where the rear window/bulkhead prohibits the installation of

rear supports, the main hoop shall be attached to the body by plates and bolted

to the stock shoulder harness mounting points.

The rear supports must be securely mounted by means of welding or bolting.

Mounting plates must be used if any points of the rear supports are mounted to the

chassis of the vehicle.

Door Bars:

The door bars must extend from the main hoop toward the front of the vehicle

across all front door openings.

The door bars must be higher than the driver's pelvis where the door bars cross

the plane of the driver's pelvis but no higher than the upper door hinge.

The door bars must be securely mounted by means of welding or bolting.

Mounting plates must be used if any points of the door bars are mounted to the

chassis of the vehicle.

Mounting Plates:

Each mounting plate shall be at least .080" thick

Each mounting plate must have a minimum of 6 square inches of surface area.

All mounting plates must be securely mounted by means of welding or bolting.

If bolting the mounting plates to the chassis, plates of equal dimensions must

be on the backside of the chassis to evenly disperse the load of the bolts.

Whenever possible, mounting plates shall extend onto a vertical

section of the structure (such as a rocker box or door pillar).

Any number of tubes may attach to a single plate or to each other.
