NHRA Amends Roll Bar/Cage Rules For ’08-Later Street Vehicles
by Andrew Wolf on December 12, 2012 Email Facebook Twitter Print Comments (0)


The NHRA’s annual round of rule amendments to be included in the 2013 rulebook include a wide range of changes across every category in the sport, but one in particular is of rather great significance to street legal drag racers and the enthusiast community as a whole.

Recognizing the safety-inspired design and construction of today’s late model vehicles, the NHRA has actually rescinded its previous guidelines for street vehicles running 9.99 to 11.49 that required the use of a roll cage or roll bar, now permitting unaltered, 2008 and later model hard top vehicles to compete as they come from the factory without the addition of said roll bar/cage. The amendment, as its phrased in the NHRA’s 2012 to 2013 amendment document states:

NHRA DRAGS: STREET LEGAL STYLE PRESENTED BY AAA (Page xiv) (5th paragraph)
Additionally Requirements and specifications for Street Legal are the same as those for the Summit Racing Series with the following exception: Unaltered 2008 OEM model year and newer production cars running slower than 9.99 and 135 mph do not have to meet the requirements and specifications for the Summit Racing Series except for the following: Convertibles and T-tops must meet Summit Racing Series Roll Bar and Roll Cage requirements, All drivers must meet the Summit Racing Series Helmet and Protective Clothing requirements.”

This amendment is in fact a huge boon to the enthusiast community that’s been driven away from organized racing at NHRA member tracks in the past due to the costs of making their vehicles legal to compete. Cars like the 2013 GT500 Mustang and the Corvette ZR1 are capable of surpassing the 11.50 mark right off the showroom floor. We’ve yet to conclude the exact meaning behind the wording “unaltered” in the text and whether that refers to the vehicle frame or the existence of power adders and the iike.

These racers who previously had to slow their vehicles down or not show up at a track at all are now able to compete without the modifying their expensive factory cars, and regardless of who this new rule applies to and who it doesn’t, it certainly opens some racers up to visit a race track again.

My Dad passed on 22 yrs ago...RIP These were the winning times for the final rounds of the class and were very good times for 1965. like everything every year everyone got quicker.

C/SA WON BY B. B. KESTER AUG.15, 1965 WON HIS CLASS AT ESTA WITH A 14.57 @ 91.64MPH

C/SA WON AGAIN ON AUG 22 1965 14.66 @ 90.90 MPH

ALSO


think he also raced a 383 mopar, maybe a fury around 1967..B and B Kester
HOPE THIS MIGHT HELP


PRETTY SURE HE RACED AGAINST MY DAD IN 1966-68

Racing season is over and the Holidays are just getting started.

I personally would like to thank all of my friends, racers, staff and the spectators who take the time to help me though out the year... .People like Todd Minerd and his Girlfriend Robin unloading me...Sid Cuff setting up my tent...Steve English and his lovely wife getting my occasional trophy, spectator Larry Thompson loading me back up, Fred Wheeler, Clarence Spady, Ted Lewis or Larry Zig changing my dialins all day long...Joe Bird and Nancy doing my hood duty...Mel and Mike Ching listening to any strange noises, or life long friend Frankie loGalbo towing me home when I break something. (Not to mention Reggie Stockton and Carl Scarano riding shotgun all week and my lady Mina keeping me enthusiastic and making sure I have a hot meal after the days race.) These are just a few of the people who offer help on a weekly basis but there are tons more and without this help and camaraderie, I would not be competing in this sport or enjoying the level of life which I do.

Even though the actual racing has been completed.. the friendly spirt lives on thru the winter months by telephone, a breakfast outing, a Christmas card or by computing on here and Facebook.

I wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Very Merry Christmas!
