Very informative indeed.

new generation of motortrend and hotrod here, all killer no filler

I am very glad you weighed everything that is great information I've never seen before

Every time I watch you guys I get a little smarter! Thanks!

Love the attention to detail you put into everything. Baffles me how you guys complete these projects so quickly

Excellent video as always! Thanks for sharing the weight difference between the various certs 👍

I love this channel! Thank you for coming this!!!

I really want to see more of that Volvo. As I mentioned when you found it to give it a new purpose. Yes, this is exactly what I meant!

that cage saved your dads life!!!!!!

Damn. This is some great information.

Great information as always

Good information, thanks

Great video as always

Great video as usual. Chock full of useful information! That Volvo is going to be one hell of a cool car!

My philosophy has always been to build the most cage you can afford..you may be running elevens in the car today, but down the road you might want to raise your aspirations and lower your bank balance...er, lower your ET. It's a lot easier to build "too much" cage while the car is a blank slate than it is to add "just enough" after it's been completed..besides, a full cage adds substantial stiffness to the chassis...and is there really such a thing as "too much" cage when the unthinkable happens and you find yourself barrel rolling down a retaining wall? 😯

good Information, thank you!

Nice job, this video may save a life.

Great video! I'm sure somebody will ask about bolt-in vs weld-in. I've seen bolt-in units that were NHRA legal for 10.0, but not for 8.5 or faster. Not that you would want a bolt-in 8.5 cage...

I currently run 8.0 index...in the 8th lol. I put in a cage (jegster 8) because my girlfriend swears were doing 190 leaving the grocery store and I paid 260 for the cage, SHE then bought me 1200$ belts because I "needed" them. She feels safe, and ill be set in the future if my s10 ever gets the 6.2 in my shed (currently still inside my totalled vette). But ONE DAY..and in the meantime, everyone leaves my little stroker alone and I look ridiculous..I'm OK with it

just a reminder 2014 and newer are allowed to run up to 9.00 or 150mph with out a roll cage , and the 2008-2013 can run up to 10.00 or 135mph with out one

I’m wondering why NHRA hasn’t allowed a containment seat to be used in place of a funny car cage. I feel that the containment seat will probably the same safety as a funny car cage when going down the track but also be safer for the driver and passenger when driving the car on a public road

crazy this is the first time i've seen the ls4 eclipse, do you have more on it im super intrigued

I have a convertible not able to do under 14s yet but plan on eventually. I know 13.49 is where you have to start using a roll cage but which type do you need ? I see 4 point 6 8 10 but I can't find which you need.

Following

I just race for fun on open track days/test days. The 11.5 et is coming up and I’m considering getting the truck cert for 10.0. Now I looked through the rule book and it seems there’s quite a bit I need to do. if I’m just “practicing” at the track do I really need all the safety stuff or would just a cage be enough?

It's LS and vortech swap just throw a turbo at it central in this guy's garage.

Did I inspire this vidja? Lol

This guy is so handsome

Short answer is... go where there's some semblance of liberty, and no, you don't need anything you don't want!!

Race on the street. Discussion over. I frickin HATE door bars.
