I think I have some of the Pontiac owned TTA they used for some speed contests in the early 90's. It was at the nationals last year. I doubt they are what you want, however. I am guessing you want details on mounting, etc.

Ohh no..not a cage ...ahhhhhhhhh

That one in the picture aint legal. Get a copy of the NHRA rule book and have it made to those specs..else you can still get booted.That side bar is a MOFO especially getting in and out of the car. I can only imagine..its hard enough as is getting in and out.

What worries me more than anything is having an accident on the street and banging my head into it. Unless I wear the 5 point harness everywhere I go with the helmet

I would not say I dabble, I just like to watch the spedo needle wrap around the dial. It does it so easily!!

Tell me about it, I didn't realize how much power the car had untill I let off at about 145 and was finally able to lean forward a bit. The pull even at high speeds really impressed me. And to think, I was only passing a semi and 1 car by the time I was doing 120, so I figured why not see the needle go past 140. Didn't take long at all
