Pardon my ignorance as I know nothing about drag racing, but that is considered safe? I have always been used to my fully welded cage and would not be comfortable with removable bars. Clean install though!

Clean install though! I'm not a design engineer, but NHRA allows them to 8.50 and customers normally want them on this type of build...

Great attention to detail as usual. You're making me look bad!

Car and cage look awesome. But whats with the seat being against the steering wheel? Is it adjustable?

Very very nice. If you run at a track that techs cars they will probably make you add some foam around the drivers area on the bars.

Very nice! Love the flying pig emblem also.  When I saw the emblem on it I was pretty sure that's what it was.  Awesome work!

They are far better than anyone else...ART's look similar but aren't quite as refined. They just take a lot of time to get right so they fit correctly and the pin hole doesn't need reamed larger...

We tried one of the spring loaded ones last..While it worked ok after pinching the web of the hand and having it find its way off the tube never again..It was on one of my Belvederes. That's for the info Forest...

looks like it defeats the purpose of side airbags and such, do you toss em or leave em in there or what?

Same with loosing the air bags in the seats. The tuner just turns off the air bag light and everyone is happy. It has skinny front wheels and 17" Weld beadloc wheels too. The car is a race car that can be driven on the street...Im sure it will go 9.70's no problem this year with the additional upgrades.
