I like the way that looks! I assume that is nhra legal yes? Never seen a 6 pt done that way with teh reinforcer bar from the from legs to the base of the main hoop... pretty much eliminates anyone from geting in the back, also a good reason to deny rides to people.... good idea really.

It is NHRA legal. And regarding the "kidney bars" - they will soon be required (or they are at least considering it) - just staying ahead of the game

Yeah, I read that those might be required at soem point. I wonder what the changes for a 8.50 10 pt are gonna be.... where I'm at at this point, I think it would be a mistake to even go with a 6 pt, as it's bound to not be enough. Once the nitrous finds it's way onto my car after it's up and running with the 402, there's little chance that it won't see speeds that will surpass what a 6 pt is good for. Not the goal, just gonna happen eventually... and I'd rather do this once.
