Here is how we did mine in my 70 Challenger. Just certed for 7:50 a couple of weeks ago. We thought about angling the main hoop to follow the side window angle but it was a little to much of angle for our liking.

O-K, you have your roll cage in and it is certified for 8.50 and it is a full bodied car. Does it need a window net ? I say yes, but our cage builder says no, it doesn't need one. Who is right?
Quote:
6:3 WINDOW NET
An SFI 27.1 ribbon-type or mesh-type window net is mandatory on
any full-bodied car required by the rules to have a roll cage.
as usual it's a gray area. if the car is REQUIRED to have a cage then it is REQUIRED to have a net. so what happens if you're running a 10.50 car with a cage? it's not required (with unaltered floor/firewall) so even though it has a cage i don't see where it should have to have a net.
just like the stories of people running an expired harness in a class not required to have a harness.
i've heard of people getting bounced because the harness is expired...gimme a break. it's not ok to use a 25 month old, tugboat towing worthy three inch five point racing harness that there's absolutely nothing wrong with except greed but it IS ok to use a 40 year old two inch lap belt 
I know guys that cut the cert tag off... if its not
required and they are fine... my Rampage has a full
cage but I will run 10.0 or slower so I sure hope
I dont need a net(dont want one... its a street car)
If it has a cage it needs a net.

where does it say that? it says if the car is required to have a cage it needs a net. what if the car is not required to have a cage but has one? just as i'm typing this i thought of a racer i know (very successful i might add) that has a 11.20 second A body that i'm almost certain has a cage in it but no net, he's run a lot of different tracks that way.

I'm not planning on a net... to my understanding its
just required sub 10.0 which at that point requires
a full cage

Many tracks may not care but when we were building my car I found it in the rulebook, I'll have to find it but it's in there. I asked a couple chassis builders first and they told me the same thing, so I looked and it was in there. EDIT: I'll look and post it but it won't be tonight, got a date...
