It's chome moly tubing. The invoice for it says "NHRA Chassis Certification" on it.

I can check on the diameter. I don't have that right here.

The cage fits like a glove and will be your protector. Just make sure when you drive around to put some SFI 45.1 padding near your noggin.
Will do! I just sent a note to Holt Racing who put the cage in to find out what the diameter of the tubing is so I can get the appropriate padding.

From Ben Holt of Holt Racing in Columbus, Ohio (they installed my cage):

"All of the main tubing structure (per NHRA specs) is 1 5/8" OD x .083 wall 4130-grade Chrome Moly tubing. The rear seat bar is 1 1/4" OD x .065 wall, and I think the rear uprights are the same. The corner diagonals are all 3/4" OD x .058."

Wow. That cage looks fantastic. Hopefully it will never have to save your life but glad it would.



Sure wish I needed a cage.
