I am upgrading from a roll bar to a roll cage in my bracket car. The car runs in the 10.50's @ 128 with no immediate plans of going much faster. With the upgrade to a roll cage and knowing that the car does not, according to the rules, need a cage will I be required to install and use a window net? I thought the rule book (General Section 6:3) was sort of vague stating that any car REQUIRED TO HAVE A CAGE must use a net.

So if I don't need the cage but put one in anyway do I need the net? I guess it would be a good thing to have regardless but any clarification would be helpful, thanks....

Ive got a cage running 10.70s. Did put a window net in but have never put it up or even been asked to.

It is up to the track tech people. I have never been asked to put mine up and run in the 9s.But I always have it in the trailer incase they do ask.

I've been to tracks where they have said, if it has a cage it needs to have a window net no matter how fast the car is. Just depends on the track officials.

they make us use it if ur in the 9's,i hide it when im at car shows n stuff

I have a cage and net and only once was I told to use it. That was at Thompson last year and one guy when I was pulling into the burnout box told me to put it up. No other time was I told to use it so it must have just been that one guy

Technically, no, you wont need a net.

However, not every tech guy at the track will understand that and when I went through this same thing I just figured that even though I love to argue the rules when I think I'm right it wasn't really worth it for the cheap cost of just installing the net.
