9.99 and no special postion relating to driver. I have my net installed similar to this. Using a angled net with a rod that follows the shoulder bar. It just slides into a section of small diameter tubing on my lower bar.

NHRA RULES SECTION 20.27 Quote:
6:3 WINDOW NET A ribbon-type or SFI Spec 27.1 mesh-type window net is mandatory on any full-bodied car required by the rules to have a roll cage. Window net must be securely mounted on the inside of the roll cage, with the permanent attachment at the bottom. All attachment points must be designed in an attempt to protect the driver and avoid contact with track surface or guardwall. Eyelet clips, dogleash hardware, hose clamps, etc. prohibited . Penetration of webbing, except as performed by manufacturer, prohibited. Any modification to net must be performed by manufacturer. A ribbon type window net does not expire, unless it is torn or battered.
but if you have a cgae and your car is slower than the rules mandate having a cage you can skip the net.

Fred, IHRA 2010 rulebook, page 107:
"WINDOW NET: If class mandates a roll cage the entry must have an SFI 27.1 safety net properly attached. ................. Net must extend forward to within two inches of the farthest back portion of the steering wheel."
The big difference is in IHRA a cage is not required until under 9.0 seconds while NHRA is more strict at under 10.0 seconds. However those who run both must be aware of the differences. Currently in LA there are two IHRA tracks and only one NHRA track.

I was told that if I had a cage I had to run a net. However my car will NOT be going quicker than 10.0 this year. If I understand correctly what has been posted above I can skip the net for now and still pass NHRA tech?
IF THE CAGE IS NOT REQUIRED I CAN'T SEE HOW THE NET CAN BE
I was instructed that the cage (regardless of the cars ET) was the deciding factor on the window net. The cage (although not required)is in the car in preparation for the turbo engine in 2011.
If time permits I'll install it as shown in the pics.

If you plan on going faster in the future, why not just install the net? Luckily the net does not expire like seat belts, and no reason you can't error on the safe side of things.

That's the plan and sorry to create a fuss. I just wanted pics on how people installed their units. I have a net and rods but no brackets. However, this item has moved to the bottom of the list since I now know it is not required. Thanks everyone for the information!
