Default roll cage nhra regulations

Im building a new cage this next winter instead of buying one. ( you can buy a 1 5/8 manderal bender and 1 5/8x .134 pipes for about $500 the same price as if you would buy a kit). but im installing a dash back in my car and it would be nice to just have a bender to tweak the pipes a little. so my question is can you run your main hoop this way instead of the normal way. i read the nhra hand book for 2012 and is says nothing about the hoops. it says the pipes/ tubes to use and it has to be all around the driver. and it tells you the distance of the tubes have to be from the driver head and shoulders

It wont be a mandrel bender for $500... But a manual tube bender will work fine... And thats legal as Madman said.
