Roll Cages vs. Roll Bars in higher class cars

I believe if you consulted with NHRA you would find "Passing tech does not set precedent or validate a violation of the rule book".
Happens all the time. And then one race you've traveled 1200 miles too...

Jeff, I believe you are mistaken. My cage is certified to 8.50, it's not required unless I run 9.99 or quicker or move to a class that requires it. SS/JA is the highest class that doesn't require it. I don't have to put the window net in unless I move up to SS/IA or one of the close by GT class, or dip into the nines. It's in the trailer, but have never been asked to install it. I have not run Div 7, but have 3, 4, & 5.
