Just out of curiousity what are the rule changes after 11.99. I have a 6 pt roll bar that I'm almost positive has to be turned into a cage. I also think you have to have an NHRA license. What is required in getting that? I think if you run over 150mph you need a chute which I don't intend to do n/a possibly on nitrous if the setup runs better than expected <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Just trying to get an idea what else is needed for me to stay on the better tracks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

You also need the multi layer firesuit. Not the single layer and you need the pants also. chute is required at 150. 8 pt NHRA CERTIFIED cage, NHRA license, gloves are also required (even though most people don't wear them). I think this covers most of it.

Anybody in the Houston area know how strict HRP is on these rules? Can I get by with my 6 pt or will I have to add the other bars and get all the other stuff?

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys. I think I'm going to by a kit to convert an 8 pt bar into a 10 pt cage and just make an 8 pt cage by leaving the 2 down bars off the cross brace on the main hoop off. I guess I"ll just have to get as much as I can done and then test my local track to see what I can get by with.
