Window Net Pictures

[Ne-max]

I usually never have any issues not having one except when we run at Schieds. The tech is pretty strict. Anyone have some pictures in how they did a window net? I need to get mine done asap. Thanks

This is in the race truck. Basically same set-up in my drag car. Seat belt clip on the lower front and three steel grommets on the other 3 corners. The way it works is , unclick the seat belt latch and pull it forward to pull the lower rod out of the grommet. I then tuck it up out of the way wedged on top of the roll cage. The rods have holes with cotter pins in case i want to pull it all the way out of the truck.

Our cummins is pretty damn close to what Rob has.

On my minivan, I do basically what you guys did, but upside down. I put the seatbelt latch on the top, then you fold the net down out the window, with the bottom fixed in place. But the class the minivan runs in requires the doors welded shut, so you're climbing in and out the window anyway, so having the net fold down instead of up is a bit quicker.

I've seen that way also Dave but as i use my door and swing out door bar, i went this route.

I have seen working door cars that used the latch up top and then used a cable holding the front of the bottom rod downward. Then the whole thing will collapse downward when unclipped. I'm not sure about the legality of this though.

Thanks for taking the time to share pictures and info Rob. Mine also has the swing out bar so that will work great on mine.

Sure thing, you can get those seat belt latches with the male latch from summit or jegs.

Perfect. I'll check them out. Should not take much to do.

Found one locally. Thanks again sr.

Minivan? What did I miss?

Minivan? What did I miss?

Basically, picked up a minivan for $125 and set it up for circle track racing in the poor person RWYB class. It was built for an event at Meridian Speedway here in Idaho called the Eve of Destruction. Survived last year's race, but I missed this year because I was traveling for work. I plan to send it to the van afterlife next year. Should be a good time!

I'm with Rob, if your door still opens, have the net fold up instead of down. I wouldn't mess with cables to hold it, not sure that would pass tech everywhere.

That's awesome!

Cool! I think the Winivan needs it’s own thread.

All right, I'll write up a build thread this weekend. Driving to my parents farm shortly, so probably shouldn't be writing a novel on my phone lol
