what speed do you need a roll cage?

jessy_is_rad · March 30th, 2007, 01:48 PM

is there any rules at any of the tracks that you guys race at that specify a roll cage at a certain speed or time? im talking about 1/4 mile... thanks

GreenFaleen · March 30th, 2007, 02:39 PM

Here is is a 12.3 at our track. ChrisJ had a chart that said everything. So he will probably help you out.

sonicblue · March 30th, 2007, 05:14 PM

i dont believe you need a roll cage for 12.3. most likely a roll bar. i think anything below 10 sec is a roll cage but not positive

GreenFaleen · March 30th, 2007, 05:21 PM

well I mean that is our track regulation on a modified car. If it is like a stock car they don't care but if you are running a modified engine they require it.

that is bullshit, you don't need a roll-bar on a coupe till 11.49. Got to the 99-04 section and i posted a sticky on nhra rules.

IDk thats what the guy at the track told me he asked if I was modified and I said alittle and he told me if I ran a sub 12.3 I couldn't race till I got a cage.

I thought they changed it to an 11.99 or faster needs a roll-bar or cage

1slo5.0 · April 2nd, 2007, 06:26 PM

NHRA is 11.99 for a roll bar and IHRA is 11.49.

A roll cage is 10.99 NHRA and 10.49 IHRA.

I believe that information to be correct unless things have changed this year. Anything faster than 8.50 needs a SFI 25.5 certified chassis in NHRA and IHRA.

how about bracket racing? same rules im assuming?

Yes. The rules depend on what organization the track is operates under, IHRA or NHRA.

White99stang · April 3rd, 2007, 02:05 PM

NHRA moved to 11.49 also.

itschristorres8 · April 7th, 2007, 02:56 AM

just read off MM & FF not to but 3days ago...NHRA says once you hit 11.49 you need at least a 6point roll cage.
and i think 9.99 needs a dif cage...not 100% on that one but i know its 11.49 requires 6point cage

if im not mistaken alot of tracks have their own regulations on cages that meet or exceed nhra or ihra rules for insurance purposses
