Good stuff Dan that was quick lol!

More pics please especially of the removable door bars

And they don't hassle you for the mph?

 

they really didnt say much to me other then when they ban me they said it was way to quick and i am faster then 135 mph. so whatever that meant i dont know. lol the guy said dont come back unless you have the following. 5' point cage, helmet, jacket, metal valve stems, and 5 point racing harness. and i got it all now.

 

nice cage!

 

135mph rule is you have to have a full 8 point cage, NHRA license, ect. Not many tracks press the mph rule though since they know imports MPH big.

a 5 point or 6 point roll bar is good for 10.00 or 135mph. Go faster then either 10.00 or 135mph and it has to be a full on 8 point cage (8.50 cage) Then NHRA license for 135mph and quicker. This is all according to NHRA rule book.

 

I thought 8.50 is 10 point. I know the 5 point rules and did not want to put more then what I have now in the car

 

No, 8 point is good for 8.50's. My talon was certified to 8.50's with a 8 point and ran 8.60's.

from a 6 point to 8 point it's just the 2 dash bars and the halo bar above your head. That makes it a 8 point and will certify to 8.50's. Of course you have to have to door seal bar now according the NHRA rules as of 2 years ago.

 

thread posted about the 6 point cage

 

Sorry Dan didn't mean to nit pick about safety specifics but do think it's a valid point to bring up based on your ET/MPH.........none the less i'm glad you're happy with how it turned out and more pics please

 

Just saw this thread WOW. Grats on everything Dan the Man def a beast and need to come out and see it run sometime soon here

 

No worries bud. I didn't take it to heart . I don't know Jack so it all helps. Haha

 

o yea. I posted a thread in the welding and fabrication section. Pics are there

 

ok i went to the drag strip tonight. not too happy but here is the run down.

tech
the car passed with ease. i was very pleased. thats about it for that.

racing.
5 runs. best 60 foot of the night was 1.75 worst was 1.88. i dont know. i could not launch the damn car one bit. horrible. anyways. i ran a best of 10.42 at 137.XX and a 10.46 at 136.XX and 2 10.50's at 136.XX i again shifted at 84/8600 rpm.

whatever. im glad i got in and im VERY happy the car made it through tech with no issues or questions. it was a fun night and i was glad to make many passes.

next trip. Ohio and i will race there. then when i come home its time to add the race fuel. lets do this

 

Great performance! And it must be nice now with cage and no hassle.

I thought your car was flying tonight. Your launch's were good it just looked like you were spinning a bit but man does your car fly!!! I could barely even see the cage in your car when I looked in they did a good job

 

Thanks sean.

Thanks man. Nice to meet you too. Sorry I could not chat a little more normally I am good for mid 1.6 and my best is 1.59. I was really hoping to hit that again but I guess the track was just to slick. Ill be back. Maybe Sunday. If not after ohio
