Another new product from Air RideTechnologies

[Bryce]

one other aspect of the NHRA rules is the main hoop support (the bars going the package tray) can only have a 30 degree bend in them. That is currently the wording in the NHRA rule book. good luck. I would like to have one for my drag race 65 mustang so i dont ruin the headliner when i weld the top of the roll bar.

Also what certification are you trying to get? how fast will your cage be able to go?

Sorry, I really can't answer that question yet. We have been talking with several sanctioning bodies; SFI, SCCA, ECTA just to name a few.

Check out the new TigerCage installation article in Chevy High Performance August 2009 issue. Project g/28 gets a cage!

If you want to see how the new TigerCage is installed, check out the
Article or Video.

I am really thinking about one of these for my next project.

I read the article and it stated that factory seat belts will not work. I am really interested in this cage for my 80 TA, but retaining factory belts would be a must for me as I still need the back seat for my son (he's young enough to climb over the bars).

What is the reason the factory belts won't work as it looks like they would clear based on the pics?

I am wanting to stiffen the chassis with something pretty easy to live with and this looks like it will fit the bill.

Any weigh # on the cage?

[jb@ridetech]

the basic cage with seat belt bar is about 60 lbs, add the door bars and its about 150 lbs

well depends on what seats you have etc, your factory belts will work fine for the rear, but could be tight on the front seats.

The reason is the upper seat belt tensioner gets in the way of the main bar so it does need to be removed...

So, this cage is going to have a safety warning, right?

Any news on the certification?

Thanks

[darren@ridetech]

Still in progress, but nothing to announce yet.

[PT_79_TA_461]

[darren@ridetech]

Yes, G-28 had a full street challenge kit under it as well.

Still working with NHRA, SFI, and Grassroots Motorsports. Right now we are working with an organization in the UK to do real time crash studies.
It continues to be an interesting journey both politically and engineering wise. No serious roadblocks yet, just wading through the issues as they come up.
Timeline? Any guess would be just that. The only thing I can say for certain is that there is progress every week.

Glad to see the continuing interest!
