Title: installing a roll cage
Post by robzridez on 07/29/06 at 00:26:05

Well I guess I'll go ahead and start this and maybe Jason will read it and give me a call. Pops did some rearranging at the shop so it looks like I can probably start the installation if my welder will ever return my da mn calls.

IHRA RULES ARE IF YOU GO 8.99 OR QUICKER THE CAGE HAS TO BE CERTIFIED 7.50 OR FASTER IT HAS TO BE CHROMOLY THESE ARE 1/4 TIMES I DON'T KOW THE 1/8TH CUTOFF'S NHRA IS A LITTLE MORE STRICT BUT I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO THEIR CUTOFFS BECAUSE I ONLY RUN IHRA

NHRA's cut off is 9.90's 1/4 mile. There is a inspector that lives in Ardmore. He comes to Wichita Falls once a year.
Normally he comes at the first of the year. He also does go to Noble.
