Ever seen an NHRA legal cage that looked like this?

Not saying it would be as effective, but probably wouldn't cert, per the rules

The cage pictured would be fine at our track I'm sure lol. If it moves thru tech without **** pouring out of the bottom it'll go down the track

Garrett had this type of setup in the turbo S10 he had. Flaco bought it and I don't know where it is now. He had several cross bars and extra lacing added to the down bars and never had an issue with tech. Went 8.20's with this style cage.

That cage is illegal and will not cert. To do the bars through the rear and not window the main cage needs to be a 25.1, 25.3 or 25.4 chassis. Looking at the picture not near enough bars to be any of those chassis's. Look at suncoast race cars. They make a chassis that will cert like the one in the S-10. I just happened to have bought the suncoast SFI 25.1 cert chassis from them. Should have it in 3-4 weeks.
