Now im NHRA/IHRA legal(roll bar came today) just got my wolfe 5point chromemoly cage with swing out from ragin motorsports today. Shippin weight was 60pounds. Now i just gotta paint the cage and weld the sucker in 
Bring on that NHRA rule for all t top cars now 
I know 60 pounds doesnt seem like much weight, but man is this thing heavy!

Re: Now im NHRA/IHRA legal(roll bar came today)
the 5 point is legal,the swingout is questionable.
if the nhra tech guy is ****,the swingout could make you fail.

Contrary to his own rulebook?
Direct quote from NHRA Rule book article 4:10 Roll Bars:
"Swing out side bar permitted" and "Swing out side bar permitted on OEM full body car 7.50 e.t. and slower.
Then in article 4:11 the rule book specifically states how to build a swing out.

Re: Now im NHRA/IHRA legal(roll bar came today) sorry,don t have the newest version of the rulebook.
i was told this by a tech guy at Atco NJ (not that his word is god) i just never researched it much more.
sorry,i was wrong on that 1.
HD why a swingout on the wolfe bar?

Re: Now im NHRA/IHRA legal(roll bar came today) Dirk, just so I can take the damn thing out for long trips and etc. Plus with it out im 6 pounds lighter LMAO
my cousin has a tig welder so im gonna get him to slap her in later this year. I want to try and get one decent pass in without 60 pounds of extra weight.. hell the car might not even run below 11.49 LMAO
I wanna dyno tune the car to get my A/F in order

Re: Now im NHRA/IHRA legal(roll bar came today) Cowboy,i dont go that often. Atco tech guys seem to HATE DE cars. they bust our nuts everytime we go. if i trailer the car in,it's 10x worse.
i usually run at Cecil and a few trips to Etown.
