DaddyBuiltRacing Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 So I am sending my car out this week to finally have a roll cage installed. I have been doing some reading/research and emailing about having the cage certified. I emailed NTR and this is the reply I got back from their guy in regards to having the cage certified: "NTR has two chassis days scheduled March 24th at Coughlin Chevrolet Newark and April 15th at the track. The fee is $150 plus you must be a member of NHRA. Please call the Raceway at 740 928 5706 for an appointment. NHRA Membership Fee: One year is $69 Two year is $128 Three years $187" Is this the only way to get a cage certified? Some people are saying to not worry about the cert and run until they kick me out, I'd rather play it safe but I dont think ill be able to make either of the dates posted above due to scheduling conflicts....any other way to do this or is this it?

gbracing81 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 You could call the NHRA and ask them directly. http://www.nhradiv3.com/apcm/templates/divtech.asp?articleid=4219&zoneid=22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Emma Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 IPS took my car to Holt last week to have a cage installed. I have a copy of the estimate for the cage work (from IPS) in front of me and it includes NHRA certification. You might want to call either IPS or Holt and ask them how to get it done.

CRAWDAD Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 do you plan on running faster than 9.99? If not, then I wouldn't worry about it. All you need is a 5pt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFKINPowerz Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 NHRA has so many inspectors per division. You can get a list of the inspectors in your division and call them directly. We used to have Pinky do them at our shop years ago. We would wait to get 2 or more cars to do and just call him up and he would come do it.

Mattsv8 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 yes. The fee is prety std usually u save to go to them I got to get mine recertified again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 do you plan on running faster than 9.99? If not, then I wouldn't worry about it. All you need is a 5pt. 5 point doesn't work for me, I will be trapping more then 135mph. Thats where they get you, its good to 10.00 if your slower then 135mph. I would rather play it safe then be eliminated because I am going too fast without a roll cage ya know. Thanks for all the replies!! I will contact John and see what he has to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
