I wouldn't bother. I had mine cert'd in 2008. I debated on getting it recertified when it was close to expiring, but never did. I don't plan on running any races where it'll be checked. I don't see why waiting a few years will jeopardize it's recertification when it was done previously. OH how great it is to live down south ! lol

I would get it re certed
1. you bought the car used, make sure its OK and it will cert for later resale and you don't want any surprises later when you want to go fast
2. Be prepared that now they want a tag on the chassis, it has to have manf, manf date and a serial number. I went to a local PETCO and they have a machine that prints dog tags. You can make all the info up , they just want to see the tag riveted on the cage and they log that info with the serial number of the sticker.
I had my car re-certified last spring 2019. Its an older build and has no info tag riveted anywhere. The chassis shop that built the cage has since gone out of business. Any idea on how to fix this before the next cert?

Don’t bother.... and enjoy that light jacket on hot humid days! I agree. When I had my Dart (9 seconds) those double layer pants and jacket are sweaty.

Any idea on how to fix this before the next cert? Wont matter, just go to a Petco the have a nice machine. I bought a square stainless steel tag. After you buy the tag you can use the machine. It will do three lines. Just put the name of the shop or just make it up " Tony Chassis" , "Action Ang Chassis" etc lol manf date xx-xx-xx Ser num XXX Rivet it to one of the door bars or the main hoop. you can make up all the info, they log it in a book now with the serial number on your tag

It fits my desires. Full round tube chassis, strut front end, etc. for traction on the starting line and straight down the track. Lots of stock appearance stuff like dash (with VIN tag & title), all steel body except 1-piece fiberglass front-end & hood. The steel doors, hinges, latches and rear hatch with factory hyd arms add some weight, but make a nice solid feel and not fragile. Pic of dash with "Mopar" style Autometer gauges, and "funny car" style cage, Jaz seat.

I wouldn't bother with the cert right now and I would be interested in buying it too if you ever sold it Jim. And if anyone happens to know of one similar to this for sale drop me a PM.
Its exactly what I am looking for.

When they start this? Just had my cage certed in September 2019 and didn’t have to do any of that.

When they start this? Just had my cage certed in September 2019 and didn’t have to do any of that. The rule has always been there, that a roll cage needs a manf tag. I went to a divisional event at Lebanon Valley and they told me I had to have it. He certed the car and had me email him a pic of the tag riveted on the cage. And yes I got I certed in Sept 2019

Is this an NHRA rule or IHRA rule because it’s news to me but my last NHRA cert was before 2010. My last IHRA cert was 2 years ago.

Been getting my chassis NHRA certified for 23yrs and not once has anyone asked for a chassis tag. I could be wrong,but I thought that was only for chassied cars.

My last IHRA cert was 2 years ago. its an NHRA rule , and if it matters my car is 25.5 Per my copy of SFI Spec 25.x "The manufacturer must label each chassis with the manufacturers name & serial number, as well as the date of manufacture"..."Such identification shall be on the driver side Primary Door Diagonal" I see no such wording for a sportsman cert - 8.50 and/or 180MPH and slower. Looks to me like they want a tag - name, date, serial #, even if it was home built - for an SFI tag.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
