exactly why an adjustment is needed
taht was pretty funny…
i dont understand what adjustment u could make in order to be fair, what would you suggest if it were in ur hands?
I suggest… if your a 96+ and have to takea lot of shit to get your hotrod inspected, I won’t hassle you for a cage… if its a street car. If Its pre 96… then yes, you need that shit to go faster… unless you have side curtain airbags and ABS… then your a sissy and need some weight reduction
not bad not bad, i suppose that could work out. i dont think many pre-96 cars have side curtains so i think that all pre-96 should have the cage
who is goin to check to make sure they are 96+? what if they trailer a car there that doesnt have a registration sticker and its a '94. it runs faster than the set limit, they ask what year. then they say… o its a '98
either way… people are goin to be getting around it
either way… people are goin to be getting around it
thats wat im thinkin
Trailer = race car… you’d have a cage anyways…
you never though about the fact that for example my 300zx was the same car 90-96, What will you do in situations of cars that are the same before and after 96?, this gets complicated the more i think about it
The IHRA and NHRA rulebooks are a real hodge-podge. As far as I can tell, they are not based on any kind of data and are basically arbitrary. We were looking at them tonight in the shop to try to find something. Most of the safety classifications are based on ET, but as was pointed out here it’s MPH that is clearly more of an issue. As the original post in this thread illustrates, ET and MPH can be vastly discordant for a powerful car running on narrow tires with a street type suspension. Street cars are safer than they used to be, but I doubt that anyone would think they are designed to be safe in a 130+ mph crash, especially with stock seats and belts. I think the rules are pretty lenient and someone who deliberately breaks them should bear the entire responsibility if anything happens. One accident could easily wipe out a track, the way things are.
:lol: thats awesome
not always a race car… some dumb kids from rochester or somewhere trailerd a civic to nyi because it wasnt “streetable” and they wanted to see what it ran… it ended up runing 14’s:bloated:
maybe it wasnt streetable because it wasnt registered…
