Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knows of a bolt in cage for our cars, or any experiences or knoledge you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

since our cars have a complete frame, you must use a welded to the frame roll bar/cage....bolt ins are not legal
 
I thought I saw a post recently that quoted the most recent NHRA rulebook that stated that the bar must be either bolted or welded to the frame. I only remember because it struck me that bolting it to the frame seemed to be a change from the old rules. I could be imagining this, though. The mind isn't quite what it used to be. ;)
 
nope...all cars with OEM frame require welding...unibody cars can have welding or bolts to attach to plates
 
How much would a weld in cage run for our cars, and does anybody know of anyone in the philadelphia area that they recomend.
 
I just bought one from www.swracecars.com If you dont mind doing the work yourself you can save a lot. Most bars or cages run $100 per point to have them installed.

If you call S&W ask for Stokes and tell him Dale sent you. Very nice guy to work with.

That is in the rule book, BUT, you must read further. Unibody cars can use a bolt in, in certain circumstances. A framed car of any kind must have a welded in bar.
 
NOT AGAIN!!

Here we go! This poor old horse gets a whoopin about every 6 weeks! I'd think by now he'd have died.. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
No Chuck...they obviously have excellent Vet's out there that can bring back the dead:p
 
Unless I am misinterpreting this somehow, my NHRA 2003 rulebook specifically says "All vehicles with an OEM frame must have rollbar welded or bolted to the frame; installation of frame connectors on unibody cars does not constitute a frame; therefore it is not necessary to have the roll bar attached to the frame."
