IHRA roll cage spec for crate motor cars

[danny waters sr]

Wade ,my only answer would be for you to e-mail Mike and get an answer. I have no problem with it and do agree with you , but i am not quite as far in the "inner circle" to make that call. Just mis-understood your question i guess , as i reffered to the rule book as i always do. Boy you guys sure know how to hurt a fellow that was just trying to help....lol

Danny, no disrespect what so ever, just trying to make sure I got my point accross. I was hoping that you would respond to this. I thought this would get in Hank's and Mike's ear easier comming from you. I will pass this along through e-mail. Also this is not just an IHRA crate motor issue, this is a NHRA, IHRA Stock Eliminator issue and is for the good of racing. I will follow your direction. Thanks

i emailed Mike Baker a couple of weeks ago on this. My questions were concerning my 68 camaro crate motor car and a fwd conversion crate motor car. Mike said that bars through the firewall to the front of the car are legal, but aftermarket seats are not. The response time of tech questions to Mike are great. 2 days wait is irregular!

Ian, yes that is the response I got as well from Mike Baker and Hank Blankenship. The foward roll gage support (thru the firewall) is excepted for CM stock. I put that bug in their ear about two years ago, when I was starting a Dodge Avenger project. I put that project over in the corner to finish my 60 Corvette. That my have been a good thing because now I can build it the way I wanted. I should be back on it by summer 2011, and it will be a very sweet car for someone.

P.S. Thanks IHRA's Mike and Hank for your understanding with reguard to safety!
