Respecting the fact that you are chassis builder, I can see the SFI cage issue, but not having sufficient chassis, I have to disagree. There are lots of Mustangs running in the NMRA and NMCA classes in the 7's with small tires and the same type of suspension.

Now this is a strech NHRA doe's not make chassis rules, they pass all the blame to SFI and when you read the rule book it say's must meet SFI Spec so & so (wheels. chassis, belts' firesuits' helments and on and on). What NMRA & NMCA doe's doesn't have any impact on what NHRA doe's or has to meet. Yuall complained when IMPACT and SFI had their Tuff several months ago? but in the end SFI won. This will be what happens with NHRA, SFI will have finally say so!!! Don't forget that NHRA CANNOT afford to get on bad side of SFI as they also set the standards for Funny Car, Top Fuel, Pro Stock and all classes. Just what would happen if SFI pulls all NHRA cert's no body could race as NHRA could get Insurance to put on the meets.
