I was reading the rulebook last night and it states that you need a window net in the hot rod class. Is that assuming you will be runnins 9's?? my street car may not go 9's and I dont want to run a net if possible even though I'm in hot rod class. Anyone know if it mandatory no matter what time you run if you are in hotrod?? thanks

 

window net is required for a full cage

 

My street car has only a 6pt roll bar so i should be ok in the hotrod class w/o net right??

 

Interior:
Upholstery, headliners, carpets, etc. optional. If OEM dash is
removed, must be replaced with fabricated or aftermarket dash to
provide finished appearance. Must be equipped with one seat
minimum for driver, properly installed. Holes, slots, or other
openings in floor and/or firewall prohibited.

Window Net:
Mandatory.

 

I know but the general rules say only if roll cage is required. Maybe i should call.

 

if your talking about your street car, maybe you should throw in a oem tank and run the street class. thats what your car is better suited for and it wouldn't take that much effort. and your chances of winning anything might improve alittle.

 

i tghink you only need a window net if running over 150mph traps. after that i think you need a window net and parracute!

 

I know but I'm not really looking to be competitive in the street car. I'm just runnign for fun. It would take more than a gas tank to get me in that calss anyway. I have no headliner,stock dash or door panels,no exhaust,no oem streering column. I'd build a smaller lighter 92cx for that class and put my motor in it if i wanted to be competitive in street class. It woudl be less work too probably.

 

Mike, you do not need a window net for a 6 point, if you go over 135 or hit 9.99 you will need a full certified cage with a window net. So you might be on the brakes hard this year

 

what is the approximate cost of a full cage? what about a 6pt roll bar cost?

 

It's a class rule. which means that you will need it if you want to be in that class, no matter what times you are running.

You'll need a net AND a full cage.

 

It all really depends on what you want... Chromoly , mild steel? For it to totaly blend with you interior, or for it to be welded in then worry about making the interior fit. AFor a quote on a 6 point or full cage call Jeff from insane fabrications down in southern Md @ 301 855 0152

like the last guy said though. Its a class rule. think they enforce it?? No brakes for me jason. If i can go 9.99999@135+ I'll get kicked out with a smile

 

.

thanx jason

 

Email Jim Skelly, he probaly wont get back to till next week, I know 2 years ago I was not allowed to run the hotrod class, because I had just a 6 point, my car was a mid 11 second car on the bottle back then. I ran brackets and had a good time anyways. I dont know if they make exceptions for cars that dont hit the e.t.'s that need a net or cage. Good luck...

 

I hope I dont get stuck in brackets. I really would like to run in a real class even though I'm going to just have some fun. I dont want to line up with an auto isuzu rodeo. I want a run for my money!!!!
