I thought the rule book (General Section 6:3) was sort of vague stating that any car REQUIRED TO HAVE A CAGE must use a net.
So if I don't need the cage but put one in anyway do I need the net? I guess it would be a good thing to have regardless but any clarification would be helpful, thanks....

Section 20 page 29 in the 2011 NHRA rule book General Regulations,
6:3 Window Net: A ribbon type or SFI Spec 27.1 mesh-type window net is mandatory on any full-body car required by the rules to have a roll-cage.
I interpret that as saying, If your car doesn't require a roll-cage, dont install one!
If you choose to install a cage, then by the "rule" you're required to have the net!
Better to have it & race than not have it & go home!
