I think the problem is even though you build your own cage, They still inspect it to make sure the right pipes, welds, configurations are met before they certify it. With the teathers, in order to be approved, you must have them inspect it, test it, etc before they will approve it. NHRA does not have the time or manpower to inspect every home build system out there, even though the vast majority of them would be fine. Just my 2 cents worth

How long will it be before the NHRA decides that they have to be replaced every two years for "safety" reasons?

It only has to be certified if you're going faster than 10.00

Jeff I thought it was "theathus"?? Remember, you and Sid taught me how to speak Cajun a long time ago. And I can supply beer so special you won't have enough theathus to overcome the addiction. Now I need to buy headers for some cars I can't afford to put them on :D:D:D
