NHRA changed the rule for a roll cage for cars 2008 and up to 9.99 or 135mph

 

Sick!

 

A much needed change considering how fast relatively stock cars go these days.

 

Damn it!

That means i still have to cage my Gallardo

 

So no full cage, or no roll bar??

 

Lamborghini was sick!!

 

...

 

Uh, before everyone here gets too excited you did see this word didn't you:

"Additionally requirements and specifications for Street Legal are the same as those for the Summit Racing Series with the following exception: Unaltered 2008 OEM model year and newer production cars running slower than 9.99 and 135 mph do not have to meet the requirements and specifications for the Summit Racing Series except for the following: Convertibles and T-tops must meet Summit Racing Series Roll Bar and Roll Cage requirements, All drivers must meet the Summit Racing Series Helmet and Protective Clothing requirements "

I wonder just how far they will take it.

 

Bodies must be unaltered and retain a full factory interior. Tires are limited to a maximum nine-inch-wide rear slick. Engines must be correct for the make and model vehicle and must retain stock cylinder heads, intake manifold, and carburetor or fuel injector. Modifications are limited to a basic balancing and rebuild with only a few performance enhancements.

 

How about with my seats out?

 

"full factory interior"

If you are bracket racing you would have to keep it in. For a test and tune I am sure you could pass inspection and then remove.
