Default NHRA Amends Roll Bar/Cage Rules For ’08-Later Street Vehicles

I originally had a goal to get kicked off the local track for eventually running faster than 11.50 and not having a roll cage...oh well

At least if I ever get to that level I can still race

Was just informed that the track we have up here is an IHRA not NHRA track so not sure if this will apply for me up here. Need to look into it more.

Un-altered should mean structualy. Full interior, no firewall changes, no tubs. The shell is stock should qualify as un-altered. Obviously like every rule it is up to the "inspecter" to deam what he sees fit.

This is awesom for people who have a newer car truck or SUV and don't want to ruin the interior and add all the weight of a cage.

i heard from someone who talked to a person at NHRA about this. they said un altered as in completely stock down to tires. what he said is they want the guys who have a zr1 say be able to run and not get booted. they are confident if someone can go faster then 11.5 in a car like that completely stock then they know how to drive. they are more worried of someone going 13's in a zr1 spinning all over the place. we will see how strict they are on the rules though.
