NHRA New 150 mph Head & Restraint Rules For 2024

[RGPIII]

The subject of cages in street cars is something that will always be argued. Street cars that can run in the 8’s at over 150 mph is something that in the past would have been a laugh. A 8.5 cage that is custom made isn’t intrusive in the front seat area. The door bars can be swing out or be removable. What it does do though is block the curtain airbags with the overhead bar and your head needs to be kept away from that bar. That means you should be wearing a harness to keep that from happening. It’s one of those things…. As long as you consider the risks, than you make the decision. America!! When you go below 8.5…. Things get much more complicated. It starts to look like this… View attachment 101977 View attachment 101978

At this stage,why keep the factory door panels and interior plastics in place?

Things will always be different depending on the track or even the individuals working at them. At the MATS event in Vegas last week and I was standing at the starting line. A car ran a 7.44 pass and I heard the starting line guy tell another to find that car and have him report back to tech😳. Even if he had a 7.5 cert cage in there… he just went too fast and they were going to get his ass. Tracks out west be like that

Rules are rules, and liability is liability. They dont police.themselves theyre playing russian roulette.
