Cage Requirements (T-Tops) Guys,
I have a 2000 TA with t-tops. Im looking to have a cage or rollbar installed in the next couple weeks. From what I read in the rulebook, you dont need a full cage till you hit 9.99. I was talking to the guy that will be doing the install and he mentioned that if it has t-tops you need a full cage at 10.99. The car ran a 11.02 this weekend as its first time out, and I plan to spray it latter this year or next. What cage is required for mid to low 10s in a t-top car?

For T-Top equipped cars, there are two possiblities ONLY!
Race without the T-Tops, all convertible rules apply.
Race with the T-Tops, all hardtop rules apply.
It is that simple!

The track that I go to says a 6pt. is needed that it is 11.49 or better. I thought that was an NHRA rule or something. I don't know. All I know is they have shut me down a few times for running too fast!
