cage questions

how fast can you run with a 6 point cage and 8 point and what eles is needed to run faster then 11.99

6pt bar needed if you go faster than 11.50...good till you go 9.99
8pt cage is good to 8.50 if you get it certified by a NHRA inspector.

There is a bunch of other stuff you will need depending on exactly how fast you go.

Also if you are in a vert the rules are a bit different too. Go to NHRA.com and check out the rules.

Pretty sure 6 and 8 are the same.9.99 and faster requires a 10pt.

A legal 6-point consists of 8-actual points of attachment. That setup is good for 10.00's

how is it 8 points i thought about putting a 8 point in the hatchback

2 in front
2 behind seat
2 to the tunnel
2 to rear of car

and subframe connectors is there anything eles to stiffen up the body

I have a 8.50 cert sticker on the 8pt cage in my coupe.

A "cage" has A-pilar bars extending in front of you. Some people call it 8 point some call it a 10 pt or twelve, depending on the design.
A "roll bar" has two door bars, hoop, two rear bars, and two kicker bars from the hoop to the tunnel. Which makes 8 points of attachment and is good down to 10.00's :bigthumb
