I heard we need tethers.

Now we need "Theathers"

Where will it end?

Jeff I thought it was "theathus"?? Remember, you and Sid taught me how to speak Cajun a long time ago. And I can supply beer so special you won't have enough theathus to overcome the addiction. Now I need to buy headers for some cars I can't afford to put them on

Jim I believe it was posed here a few weeks ago that one of the companies was adjusting the retail pricing of theirs, and giving refunds for the difference for people who paid the higher price.

You are correct Karen. They reduced their $250 tethers to $200. Still twice the price as advertised above. Jim

I knew the price on these things would come down. Andrew priced the pieces out from a specialty hardware retailer and came up with $44, buying everything retail one at a time. NHRA now needs to let us buy our own pieces like we do with any other part that's not a Sfi part.

Apparently I'm qualified to cut, bend, and weld my own roll cage, but not qualified to assemble a few clamps with pre made lines. Literally exactly the same parts as included in these kits.

I think the problem is even though you build your own cage, They still inspect it to make sure the right pipes, welds, configurations are met before they certify it. With the teathers, in order to be approved, you must have them inspect it, test it, etc before they will approve it. NHRA does not have the time or manpower to inspect every home build system out there, even though the vast majority of them would be fine. Just my 2 cents worth
