how about if you are going to make a drag truck out of a half ton and drop in a torque monster, you better be able to drive it...or have good safety stuff.


and have some real racing tires on the front too, wouldn't hurt a bit.

That's completely different. A full race rig of course requires all the necessary safety precautions. A stock truck with a programmer has absolutely no need for a cage.

Roll bars may become mandatory

have you been readin the thread about the same thing on pats site tracy?

uuuummmm....Danno, post number 8? :pca1:

:duh3:

I agree with Dangerous on this if someone wants to risk running a truck without a cage, then he or she should be allowed, its not endangering anyone but himself/herself. I the DHRA continues with this kind of bull shit they will lose a lot of their fans and competitors. I think their events are already second rate compared to some of the big local events like Schieds. I have already seen what over regulation has done to the ITTPA , their events suck because in the work stoke class you have to have to have drive shaft loops, up turned exhaust and some other bull shit, Now their pulls you have the same few trucks pull every pull and you do not have the locals joining in.

yes i agree with dangerous too that is just stupid ,

it is very dumb, say for example after buying a new LMM duramax for 50+k and adding a ppe tuner and now you run the mid 13's quarter mile and now after that you have to gut your truck and add a full blown saftey cage?

Don't get me wrong. I DO agree with a cage policy on anything fater than 13.00 but not an 8 point. I think the 8 point should come into play on anything faster than 12.00. Trying to implement a policy to make slow daily drivers run a cage is going to kill the sport as well as the org's revenue to support racing. This is just ridiculous overkill for a slow truck.
