Window Net Rule

Bob Mulry · 03-05-2012, 08:12 PM

Just to add more fuel to the fire..............

It looks like SS/JA, SS/J & GT/HA, GT/H and lower don't require a roll cage....

If a roll cage is installed in a car that doesn't require a cage is the window net not mandatory and the car can be run with a cage and no window net AND THE NET DOESN'T NEEDE A RE-CERT??????????

That looks OK to me and it looks like that is what the rulebook says......

Ed it looks like the tech crew at Houston got it wrong if you ran SS/J or GT/K...

All this discussion about window nets. I don't get it. Replace your window net for 25 dollars or buy the whole installation kit including net for 55 dollars. We spend more than that on dinner for 2. If you have a cage,put a window net in it. End of story. Bitch about something else ! Here is a link to window nets and kits http://www.jegs.com/p/G-FORCE/G-FORC...58701/10002/-1

Wow, I like it. I'm with you. It's not like YOUR window net is protecting the NHRA. I guess some racers don't care if they have a left arm.

I verified it with Jay.....the rule goes back to the way it was for 7.50 and slower cars.....effective 3-5-12

No you don't have to have your net recerted every 2 years....

Thanks for the clarification.

Which one needs recertified every two years? ribbon or mesh?
which one doesn't?

Darrin Christen · 03-05-2012, 10:32 PM

That figures, I just bought a new one to replace the perfectly good one I already had. Oh well!

Thanks Rock for that info, I was about a week away from ordering my new one, mines a custom size so the 25-55- dollar deal doesn't go for me. Don't mind spending money on things that are needed but find it hard to throw perfectly good stuff in the trash. Now if they would come to their senses on the seat belts........ Joe

I'd expect bracket racers to bitch about such things but class racers, say it ain't so. $25 or $125, is pennies compared to what these cars cost to build and race no mind the cost of the stackers and motorhomes that fill the pits.

I was told by a Division Director that all window nets/mesh must follow the two year rule effective April 1, 2012.
