What does the NHRA or the IHRA rule book say about the thickness of a floor plate
where the roll bar attaches to the floor? All of my bars are attached to the frame or outrigger except
where the bars come down beside the windshield post, I plated this area with a 6"x6"x1/8"
plate that came with my kit. The manufacturer of the kit (autoweld) states that a 1/8" thick plate meets
NHRA and IHRA rules but we had a visitor at the shop last night who said the rule book
states the plates should be 3/16" thick. I can not find a rule book on line and will be ordering one
for 10 bucks from NHRA today but this is bugging me and I would just like to know.
I plan or running between high 5's to low 6's in the 1/8 mile but I would also like to
take the car down to Atlanta and run the 1/4 and I would love to break 10 and get
into the mid to high 9's so I want the car to first be safe and be able to pass tech.
Thanks for any help.
