Trackbird and I were talking the other day about some rumors floating around about the "New" NASA HPDE rules. My question is: To run a NASA HPDE event in 2011, if my car has a cage that is ERW not DOM, but is within design specs, will I be able to run? Same thing with fuel cell, seats etc. Before I finish the cage, it might be good to know if there are rule changes......

Kevin is right on. Kenny and I may run an open trackday/HPDE day if it passes tech, but it's more of a project to flog, break, fix and flog again. I have learned alot since I started, mainly the DOM vs ERW difference, albiet too late(drag racing is soooooo much more simple). The cage is more to protect Kenny if he gets upside down when (not if) he gets in oer his head. The original intent was to go 0-100-0 in less than 10 seconds, run 1.0 g on the skid pad, run 12.000 or better drag racing, and hang with a Z06 on the road course. Now I can add competitive Auto-xing to the list. One day, we'll build a W2W car with a Blaine Fab cage.
Based what I've learned, we'll use the stock tank(no cell), finish the cage with the ERW halo and add a bar above the door sill and the diagonal in the main hoop, harness bar and a door bar to tie the harness bar to the a-pillar bar. You guys have been a huge help...... |
