What If Build Ideas...for Land Speed Racing

This is from the SCTA Rule Book. Does this mean the chassis needs to be independently certified? Or do they just approve it? Can someone who certs drag chassis do it?

Side note, I emailed both people listed on SCTA website for car tech and both came back undeliverable.

X2 Side note. Reading more in depth on the requirements on wheels, studs, fire suppression, safety and some of the chassis requirements, it is seemingly more so unlikely this car will ever race. It was a great thought. I guess I will learn as much as I can, and just have a fun street car. Thank you for help, suggestions and encouragements.

So, the rules for the Texas Mile call out the below statement. So, a starting point may be to find a local drag racing chassis cert person.

ROLL CAGE: All cars that are attempting speeds at or over 215 mph but below 230mph are required to have a NHRA 8.50 suitable type roll cage at minimum meeting the rules for your car build.

Using regs from a different sactioning body is a trip to disaster. Go to the BNI/SCTA people. Their tech inspectors will give direction. If you can not get a response from those listed on a current rules book, find a competitor and they should be able to steer you to a person to talk to.
Building your chassis and cage stronger will not disqualify you, but not enough stops you in your tracks. With LSR either on the salt or dry lakes, carrying weight is not a problem like in most other racing venues.
