Do you want it to conform to the NHRA rules or do you want it to actually work in a wreck? You can’t have both. ---

> [@kramerbuccs24"](#): > > What are the issues with the NHRA rules? 100% srs. Post/link/pics/whatever. I’m curious. Their exceptionally pathetic rules and regulations. They are the most lenient sanctioned body when it comes to cage regulations. I’m not going to drown this thread with techno, nor take a job away from Morgan as he stepped in first. I don’t have the time to get another cage in right now anway. ---

Chute is needed for 150+ if I recall correctly. IMO, get the car making the power and having the traction needed for 9’s first. It’ll cost more than you think. ---

IMO, get the car making the power and having the traction needed for 9’s first. It’ll cost more than you think. its required for 150mph regardless of the ET but its also required for 9’s regardless of the trap. ---

I know plenty of guys running in the mid 9’s at NHRA sanctioned events and have never been told to get a chute or stoped due to not having one. Im specing the car to have a cage to run in the 9’s so i dont need to do it twice. ---

Im specing the car to have a cage to run in the 9’s so i dont need to do it twice. yeah its definitely not something everyone does, im just telling you what the rules state. the time to do it is when you are building the cage. ---

Gotcha. Thank you. Usually the events we run people just look to make sure its there. Even a roll bar would probably be fine but, just to be safe ya know?
