Let me try to put this to rest. if it is a "drag" car... with a "drag" cage... it MIGHT pass well enough for HPDE. BUT HPDE caged cars do have to meet the CCR.
As i stated before, that Autopower set up is deamed legal in both the "drag" world and the "RR" world... but has its short coming. Most production drag cars with cages that i have personally seen (since i hang out at BandT and they are all drag racers) will not pass tech inspection for NASA.
Most of us play under the CCR. I know some of you go to the 1/4 strips... some people might be into circle track racing... i dont know... but IF its a "drag" cage its mostly likely going to be deamed "unsafe" at NASA events.
Circle Track cages are different than Drag cages... and they are different from RR cages. Each has their own philosophy. I advise not buying the car because i would hate to NOT let you on track.
