Does it have to be welded in? or can it be a bolt on roll cage. how many points are required?

 

WELDED!!!!!! 11.49 u only need a roll bar. 9.99 or over 135mph, 10pt cage

 

I know for a fact that it must be welded in, and I believe it's a min of 6pts, then 8pt, and anything faster than 9.99 must be 10pt min........

 

dam. welded. that sucks haha. i dont want a permanent cage in my daily driver.

 

just take the risk!!!!

remember you only live once so do the damn thing

i know im doing with a 10pnt all day long.....bring the bumps to me i'll take them

 

Make it a five point with a removeable or a swing out door bar.

 

ya, the pass door doesnt have to have a bar. and you can make a swingout, and unbolt it on non track days

 

anyone have a quick link to a good place that explains the ins and outs of building a proper cage? ive been reading alot of info about what kind of cage and what specifically i need to do in order to pass tech and it seems like there is a bunch of mixed info, and the nhra rulebook seems a bit vague...only planning on mid 10's and most likely over 135mph...sorry for the thread jack but i think it will help the OP as well...

 

if u have any questions, just ask here.. i dont know any links that explains it.

 

If you dont plan on running events or racing every weekend then try running without one and see how strict the techs are. I went 10's all year without one this year.

 

well i went 11.43 and had the tech's waiting at my pit for me lol (i had been running 11.5's all night, that was the first time i went under 11.49)

on the new car i will have the cage installed first...i personally am just looking for mid 10's and most likely will be over 135mph (sfwd trim) so i know i need a main hoop, 2 forward bars (i will be doing swing outs) d bars coming off the main hoop and 2 rear bars that will follow the headliner and then drop down through the rear deck (4dr integra, still want to use my back seat) and then weld to a cross bar that is welded to the two strut towers...

does that make sense? and better yet is that legal? ive found all the info on the main hoop, d bars, and forward bars....my main concern is how to run the rear bars...and this is an 8 point cage...what bars are needed to make it 10? the forward bars that go through the dash?
