Sub 9.0 second roll cage discussion

So let’s talk roll cages. There’s a few of us living in the low 9 second range so this discussion needs to be had. And fortunately one of us (ahem, Jason lol) is already knocking on the 7 second door! Maybe I should have just sent him a PM.

I see RPM makes a weld in cage that is supposedly good to 8.50 but the NHRA spec looks to be really crazy to run below 8.50…more braces than the Golden Gate Bridge! What are you guys running? RPM, another brand, or custom? Or just frequent a really friendly track that doesn’t enforce the cage requirement?

I hardly drive my car on the street anymore and I’d hate to ruin that even farther with a crazy cage setup but not sure what else I can do if I want to race at my local track. I’m assuming you need a chute too…easy to remove if you want to drive on the street? What about the window netting? Or is all this stuff just a necessity and my street days are numbered?

Thanks for any and all feedback.
