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
