Default Roll cage question

I don't have an NHRA rule book available, at what class in super stock is cage required?

Thanks,

That should be SS/I including automatics and above. Also any car running 9.99 and quicker is required to have a cage instead of just a roll bar.

So I'm safe with a bottom feeder ss/ja with a roll bar. Should be about .30 under in the heat.

Thanks for the info.

Have a weight box. That way you can add some iron if your car is too light and slips up into I. Or weight it to the light limit of K. You might have more success with the best weight/power ratio allowed.

The most successful racers I know run SS/MA, P/SA, K/SA (National Record Holder) and U/SA.

It's the whole package that counts. Car and driver.

The car is currently in crate motor trim. But looking for an NHRA option, it has the race seats ,weight box and a 9" slick. Use current shortblock, add mid range used ss heads and a roller cam. And the trans brake. Won't be fast but just enough to play.

Thanks for the advice guys.
