Rutgers Formula Racing has hit a kink in our building process..... our previous sponsor for bending our roll hoops backed out on us just recently, we are desperately looking around for companies in the Northeast that can handle the diameter of tubes we use (1") and larger radius bends......... we are willing to pay at this point, however, we have not been able to get a contact going with any company capable of meeting our needs.

Any team that could recommend a company that they use or know of...( especially if its in the Northeast)... Please do so, It would be greatly appreciated...

There is Collis Truck in Northampton, PA (maybe 1.5 hours from you I think). They have bent hoops for us in the past.

We couldn't get anybody to do it because they needed special dies, so we made them some. Most places were receptive to using our dies and they didn't take long to make.

Thanks guys.... I'll give Collis Truck a call..... and worse comes to worse..... making our own dies is def. a possibility.
