Need a chute lol. I heard JPC sells a sweet setup. I have one. You should look into it.
cage and chute are two different things
cage depends on ET
chute depends on speed OR ET whichever you hit first. I think the speed to need a chute reguardless of ET is 135mph.
which means if you run a 12.00 @ 135 you need a chute, even though you don't need a cage.
if you run 11.50 you need a 4 point cage. but if you don't hit 135 you don't need a chute.
and I forget what ET (if any) you need to go before you need a chute regardless of speed.
as far as 'getting away' with anything some tracks are lenient of cars 11.50 and slower. but by time you go fast enough to need a cage even the most lenient tracks expect at least the certification on your cage and belts.
its true newer cars, especially S197 mustangs are built like tanks, but still, the rules are there. A crash at over 100 almost always results in a rollover and the people who make these rules are looking out for your safety.
