That is still the case in CS. 10.65 index but certified cage and a license. Worse for GT/GA 11.20 index and it needs the cage cert and license. The reason is when you go thru tech they have no way of knowing if you are a 10 60 or a 9.30 SS/CS, so they make everyone have the same equipment. Having worked starting line at National events in the past I know from experience its hard enough to check everything as a car is getting ready to run without trying to figure if a SS/CS is a 10.60 or 9.30 car before it runs. Should he have a window net, full face helmet or neck collar? Once you see the class on the car you know what is required. There are still some strange ones in SS. All 4 truck classes have to have a cage but only TA needs a license but TB has a 9.05 record and no license requirement unless Gen Reg 10.4 is the catch-all with its class 4 Type B 7.50-9.99 clause.
