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?

I agree.
When I had my Dart (9 seconds) those double layer pants and jacket are sweaty.

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

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.

While it is much cheaper and more practical to run the car at 6.40 and avoid the cert and license and the safety gear, when I decided to race in Box class I went ahead and did it all because I think I'll have better luck running 5.90 against the armada of 4.90 dragsters in the class.

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 Daytona was a chassis car and I was never asked about a tag from NHRA

I just looked through the last NHRA rule book that I had and could't find anything about a chassis tag. Its possible it could be in another place other than were I looked.

NHRA doesnt ask for a tag from where it was built.
I do know that some chassis builders put a tag so NHRA recognizes who built the chassis. Sometimes makes their job easier. Tags are like a trademark.

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.
