Berfore reading, this isn't a discussion about safety. It's a discussion about parts availability and legal requirements for racing.
I became interested in a bolt in cage because I don't really want to put a weld in in the car. The cross bar is the biggest problem as I use the backseat.
I canot find any prefabed bolt in bars for our cars. BIG SURPRISE! While there are bolt in bars for many many others. As usual, non for us...
While there are companies making NHRA legal bolt in cages for other cars Ridetech make a bolt in cage that is not NHRA legal but it is ECTA legal to 175 MPH. http://www.ridetech.com/store/tigercage/ They are working on NHRA certification. NHRA has amended the roll bar rule in 2013, a stock 2008 and newer car can run faster than 11.49 without a roll bar unless a vert. So they are looking to make more money by allowing more cars to qualify and run. I think we might see them get a cert.
So a couple things....
CAn any of you link me to the style connectors they use? I'm hard pressed to believe these are one off units.
Also, whether you want one or not i'd like to see a flood of emails go to these guys requesting a cage for A bodies. Feel free [email protected]
