PM Greg with the GTO (GasTiresandOil), he is getting a cage built right now is his GTO. The guy thats building it is named Andrew and his shop is here is Fairfield, but I dont remember the name of his shop. If Greg doesnt have the info let me know and I can call someone that does.

Jim Berg out of Sac area, I think Rio Linda. He is the one that did the cages in Chris Martin's C6 and his buddies. His number is 916-837-7028. I have Chris' number if you want to talk to him also. I know he does good wrk and can hide it all under the carpet as well.

Speaking of Jim, I talked to him earlier today and he said he's still waiting to hear back from Ken Gentry regarding your car. I think he's gonna have his dad call him again so hopefully he'll be getting back to you shortly.

Where is the NHRA cert done? At the track or the installer?

Unless your car runs 9.99 or quicker or hits 135.00 mph, there is no need to have your chassis roll cage etc certified

The exception would be "Unless it is a convertible" then it would be required under 13.50 seconds but still does not need to be chassis certified unless it exceeds the 9.99 second and 135 mph ruling.

Cert is done whereever you and the certifier agree on. Could be at a shop, your house, the track, etc.
I think I'll get to the single digits before I look at cert'ing it and getting my licence started.
