Chip; you said you were updating to a ribbon type so that's good. Copied here is section 6.3 of the rulebook.

6:3 WINDOW NET
A ribbon-type or SFI Spec 27.1 mesh-type window net is
mandatory on any full-bodied car required by the rules to have a roll
cage. Window net must be securely mounted on the inside of the
roll cage, with the permanent attachment at the bottom. All
attachment points must be designed in an attempt to protect the
driver and avoid contact with track surface or guardwall. Eyelet
clips, dogleash hardware, hose clamps, etc. prohibited. Penetration
of webbing, except as performed by manufacturer, prohibited. Any
modification to net must be performed by manufacturer. A ribbon
type window net does not expire, unless it is torn or battered.

Further in the back (pg 312) where SFI Spec expiration periods are given is this one concerning SFI 27.1

27.1 Window Net (Mesh) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 years

Never ceases to amaze me how people can 'read' a rulebook and walk away with erroneous information; guess that's why they have tech....LOL

Anyone running a NHRA Divisional or National S/ST where they already have the scales set up for class racing should be prepared to be weighed...if they want to forfeit a winning pass then so be it. Know I'm not packing hundreds of pounds of lead for the fun of it; it killed a bunch of my MPH.
