There has been a conversation on a Rocky Mountain RaceWeek page I frequent concerning the NHRA requirement of a window net. Some say you need it only when you run 9.99 or quicker and/or 135+ mph. Others say if you have a full cage you need it regardless of ET. I have a full cage with no net in my Mustang but I am not close to running 9.99 or 135 mph. The way I read the it the net requirement begins at 9.99 and/or 135+ mph. It doesn't really say there is a requirement on the cage only but I know a cage isn't required until 9.99 so I guess that might go together. At RWRW 2.0 last year they didn't say anything but I don't want to get bounced because of that this year.

Rules are certainly "interpreted" by individual tracks. As "I" read the rule book a net is required with a full cage.

Looks like it's not needed 6:3, I thought the same as Randy maybe it was changed at sometime.

My local track held a chassis certification a couple months back. They flew in a NHRA tech inspector from headquarters in LA for the event. He certified our cage to 8.50. No net required. But the truck only runs 11.0x. So it's a rule probably like Randy mentioned, open to interpretation.
