I think under 11.00 at an NHRA track requires a 6pt roll cage.

It was mis leading, I was going to say ask Bruce1 and use the J word! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

11.99 or quicker (11.00), you need a roll bar! Thats why my goal is 12.00!

D-

that car is LOOKING good! :D

You're gonna need a cage to run in the 10's my man. BTW, I thought you were done with the gas :lol:

Also, how does your car handle being lowered? I just did mine today

You should get a NHRA rule book but here is the short version. Faster than 11.99 you need a roll bar, 5 point. Any time a bar is preasent you allso need harness. If the car has a frame it has to be welded to it, unibody can go to 6x6 steel plates. The tubeing minimum is 1 3/4" o.d. .118" mild steel or .83 4130 chromoly, except the center cross bar with is 1 1/4 od ms or .065 4130 cm. This will be good to 10.0, as long as the floor and firewall are unmodified. Tech is diferent at each track but thats the gist of the NHRA rule. Ric
