what et requiers a cage? I know that if you are at the track there is a certain et that if you are under you are required to have a cage. But I do not know what this number is? Also if someone were to go to the track for the first time, and run under this and happend to not have a cage installed what kind of reprecusions would come to him?

Re: what et requiers a cage? 11.9999999 for NHRA
11.4999999 for IHRA
What I have seen on the board each track is different. BUT if you break into 11's you could be "asked" not to come back until you have a cage.

Re: what et requiers a cage? its not a cage.. its called a roll bar
roll bars go up to 6pts, anything with more than 6 points would be a cage. I believe a roll bar is good untill 9.99 on IHRA tracks?
but they would warn you on your first pass, then if you make another under there et limit they will tell you to leave

Re: what et requiers a cage? I'm not up on IHRA requirements, but NHRA is 10.00 limit for roll bar. Once you hit 9.99 or exceed 135 mph, then you need at least a 10 point roll cage, it must be certified, and you must go through a series of licensing runs to get an NHRA competition license to continue running 9s. You also must have a neck collar, SFI-approved jacket, pants and gloves when dipping into the 9s.

I was on your website checking out your car, and noticed the license plate frame that you have. The one that says "All Throttle, No Bottle", that is awesome where did you get a hold of that so I can pick one up.
