Someone mentioned something about the bends AROUND the dash instead of thru might not be legal but this cage is from Chris Alstons' chassisworks and Chris Alston Jr is a friend of mine... i can't see alstons selling something that wouldn't be legal. here's the pic....

The 10 point cage in front of the dash is legal. Though I wont build them that way. You cant get the dash out, and you have no feet protection. The 10 point is legal to 8.50s.

so is this legal to 8.50's?
some of us are limited by funds and what kits are out there.
and 8.50's are fast enough for me for a while.
what would you do for feet protection?

We may be coming out with a 25.2 kit later this year. It will all depend on if the jigs are doable. I have some ideas on how to make everything work, but won't know for sure until i get to it.

Dan, we just finished installing your 25.5 cage in our car, we added a few things for extra strength, weight transfer, and wheel stands
but it still does not have near the bars in the back half of the car as Madman's does, did something change or are we covered on the 25.5?Mark

Mark:
That is still in debate with NHRA. That is conflicting paper work as to what is required for the 25.5 rear bars.
Seems as if NHRA and SFI got some things confused with the 25.4 spec when they did the 25.5 spec.
