Roll cage build

[talonsway]

I will be building a cage for my 2g. This is my first time doing this and curious on the requirements that i need to meet materials wise. Thanks for any help

6pt doesn't require the chassis to be certified so it will never be checked unless you want to go quicker than 9.99 or faster than 135mph witch will require a chassis certification .What's your goals with the car?

1.75 OD.
.118 mild
.083 moly

My goal is 10s. I was thinking of starting out with a 4pt. Using 1.75x.120 DOM tubing. From what i read that shouldn't be a problem?

looking at some designs on the internet, 6pt wouldn't be to hard at all.

What are the suggestions if my goals are 10's.?

I too am interested. I think the Talon will be getting caged. I think 6pt should be fine. The NHRA website has info about cages but not much and it's all conflicting with other information I've found.

You need a 6-point to run 10.0-11.49 or over 135mph IIRC, specs are on the NHRA website, or at least it used to be. The specs were always pretty vague, especially on swingouts.

Actually the anything 135mph or faster requires a 8pt, nhra license, chassis certification, ect.
