My XT is knocking on the door of a 10 second pass.
What do I need to do to be able to race the car & keep ANDRA happy?

10.99 and lower is an Unlimited Licence. You will require a medical certificate.

Andrew is going to bring his 66 mustang down on the same night as well (the car with the 427 that Simon built) It will be nice to see the Ford chrome bumpers amongst the sea of commodores

usually you have to do a couple licensing test passes, they watch u do a burnout, 60ft, 1/2 track then a full track pass before they sign off on it.

Would probably be as easy as taking out a couple of degrees of timing for ANDRA events then put it back for Wednesdays |

4.14.4 Single Rolover Hoop with removable support members
The following vehicles require a single rollover hoop covering the full width of the driver's compartment with two back stays , a side intrusion bar and taxi bar of bolted construction using Grade 8 or equivalent fasteners constructed to ANDRA requirements as a MINIMUM ! ( Utilities may use a FOUR point rol cage with intrusion bars / diagonals on both sides ) . Unmodified cars ( ET 10.00 - 10.99 ) : with nmodified monocoque construction with fixed steel roof , slower than 10.00 ( 1/4 ) / 6.50 ( 1/8 ) but faster than 10.99 ( 1/4 ) / 7.00 ( 1/8 ) . My understanding of that is , UNtubbed = unmodified , therefore a Bolt in 4 point cage with Bolt in Side instrusion bar which is always on drivers side ? So a back half cage with bolt in drivers side intrusion bar is required for Unmodified chassis/tubs ..... Hope that helps , but if in doubt , contact your local Andra Tech inspector for more info . This is from the 2013 Andra rule book . 4.14. Full 6 Point Roll Cage with Removable Support Members . The Following vehicles require a full roll cage mounted at a minimum of 6 points with removable side intrusion bars . The intrusion bars must be the same diameter and thickness as specified in the material selection chart and must be attached using 3/8 inch ( 10mm ) Grade 8 bolts as a minimum . UNMODIFIED CARS ( et 8.00 - 9.99 ) . Street registered cars with a fixed steel roof and Unmodified monocoque construction running between 8.00 and 9.99 ( 1/4 ) / 5.00 and 6.25 ( 1/8 ) or slower . So STREET Registered cars with FIxed Steel roof and UNMODIFIED chassis or tubs , ONLY needs BOLT in 6 point CAGE with BOLT in removable side intrusion bars . WOW ![]() Thats got to be appealling to alot of people ... Thats cool .... DAMN cool ![]()

As for cages Brad (sorry iPhone won't let me post a link) go to you tube. Type in XY GT 351 posted by Why Chuchie and have a good look at that cage, andra approved and can barely see it in car... With lightly tinted windows you'd have no hope of seeing it ...

Your welcome. A good cage will do its job and not look gaudy. Plus on the street no one really needs the heat from wallopers
