No I do that myself, It make them taste better than the crap your shouveling...










I guess if your worried about safety that much I'm not one to push or bother but IMO (which doesn't matter to you) you should have worried about hitting 12's or better before you started trying to look fast.

On a side note, not being a dick; the cage looks good. What do you have to do to get it NHRA aproved?

80 bucks is pretty cheap, I might have thought about doing it for that price.

yea it was 162 total from s and w racecars but it was kinda universal and a bitch to modify to fit but my dad helped me and i welded it. you dont have to get a cage certified till 9.99s so i think they just check to see if you have one during tech. buy the way that 13.4 was letting off because it was my first time spraying. when i got done they wouldnt let me make another pass because they said i needed a cage lol. im putting my 4.10s in during my christmas break so i think with some drag radials i could be in the 12s but........... we'll see.

ORIGINAL: sxynerd

The roll bar is accepted in vehicles running as quick as 10.00 second e.t., provided the stock firewall and floorboard is intact, other than for installation of wheel tubs. The rollbar must be constructed of minimum 1 ¾ inch o.d. x .118 inch wall mild steel tubing, or 1 ¾ x .083 chrome moly tubing, and must conform to the following diagram:


Your not in the 12's or the 10's... Looks like you just wanted to look fast or look cool which ever came first!
When do I need a roll bar or roll cage, and what should it look like?
A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.49.


sorry had to throw that in there.
