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.

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

 

uuuummmm....Danno, post number 8?

 

 

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 **** 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 ****, 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.
