now after reading the rules on this i get confused on the time requirement
for a roll cage to enter the picture... can someone straightn this out for me,
i'm under the impression its under 11.5 but not positive on that
swore there was somthing different ig the chasis was factory

[F8L GT]

usually its 9.99 and quicker, or faster than 135 needs a cage unless you are a vert

[worrgp]

ok so the 11.5 is referring to a modded chassis or something around that area correct?

btw huge fan of what you have done with your 02 whats your best time as of now?
im not in the 99-04 section any more

[F8L GT]

I just looked, and it said any car quicker than 11.49 needs a roll bar, not a cage. Cage is required on cars running 10.49 and quicker, per NHRA rule book


Thanks man best time as of now is 12.55@107

[worrgp]

rollbar as defined as just a hoop?

4:10 ROLL BARS
Mandatory in all cars running 11.49 or quicker, or per Class Requirements. All roll bars must be within 6 inches of the rear or side of the driver’s head, extend in height at least 3 inches above the driver’s helmet with driver in normal driving position, and be at least as wide as the driver’s shoulders or within 1 inch of the driver’s door. Roll bar must be adequately supported or cross-braced to prevent forward or lateral collapse. Rear braces must be of the same diameter and wall thickness as the roll bar and intersect with the roll bar at a point not more than 5 inches from the top of the roll bar. Crossbar and rear braces must be welded to main hoop. Sidebar must be included on driver’s side and must pass the driver at a point midway between the shoulder and elbow. Swing-out sidebar permitted. All roll bars must have in their construction a cross bar for seat bracing and as the shoulder-harness attachment point; cross bar must be installed no more than 4 inches below, and not above, the driver’s shoulders or to side bar. All vehicles with OEM frame (i.e., pickup truck where body bolts to framerails) must have roll bar welded or bolted to frame. Installation of frame connectors on unibody cars does not constitute a frame; therefore, it is not necessary to have the roll bar attached to the frame. Unibody cars with stock floor and firewall (wheeltubs permitted) may attach roll bar with 6-inch x 6-inch x .125-inch steel plates on top and bottom of floor bolted together with at least four 3/8-inch bolts and nuts, or weld main hoop to rocker sill area with .125-inch reinforcing plates, with plates welded completely. All 4130 chrome moly tube welding must be done by approved TIG heliarc process; mild steel welding must be done
by approved MIG wire feed or approved TIG heliarc process. Welding must be free of slag and porosity. Any grinding of welds prohibited. See illustration. Roll bar must be padded
anywhere driver’s helmet may contact it while in driving position. Adequate padding must have minimum 1/4-inch compression or meet SFI Spec 45.1

I was under the impression it was along the lines of a 6 pt. with door bars for 11.49-10.0, And a full halo with front down bars (10pt min) for the faster.
