The NHRA still accepts mild steel cages, but, as far as I understand, they are the only sanctioning body that does. By going with chromoly you're only out of pocket an additional 2-300 dollars and you ensure that regardless of what event you go to you'll be allowed to run.
How do you attach a chromo cage to a stockish mild steel chassis..will you still have to have the it heat treated and certified?

I don't think Carwash does any tig work..or at least he didn't last time talked to him about fabing stuff.
