Yup Tech, sounds like they have updated a lot of the bar and cage stuff since the last time I was down the track. (probably about '87). I ordered the SFI spec sheet for an 8.90 car, my machinist is getting a bit carried away on the motor pieces so if I'm gonna be running that quick, safety is going to be a main concern. The Ranchero is full framed now, 2" X 4" Rectangular tubing, so it looks like I will be legal there.??? No problem putting the down tubes through the back of the cab, I left enough area above the rear window opening to fit them through. I looked at the pics of Pro's funny car cage, seems like the added safety would be well worth the effort. Might want to let the kid make a few passes in the car, too, so it has to be safe!!!!!!! The whole plan is still in the planning stages, but as it stands now, would like to do some drag racing with it, then change out the trans and gears, add an overdrive, and go to Bonneville with it. That is still the one place I gotta make a few passes before I tip over.

When my SFI book gets here I will do some studying, then probably get some help on interpreting the rules. Thanks in advance.
