DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 is it 11.99 and faster or 9.99 and faster? The NHRA rulebook is about impossible to read or maybe i'm just looking over this. EDIT!! Just found this: When do I need a roll bar or roll cage, and what should it look like? A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.49. The roll bar is accepted in vehicles running as quick as 10.00 second e.t., provided the stock firewall and floorboard is intact, other than for installation of wheel tubs. The rollbar must be constructed of minimum 1 ¾ inch o.d. x .118 inch wall mild steel tubing, or 1 ¾ x .083 chrome moly tubing, and must conform to the following diagram: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I could be wrong: but unfortunately I've never had to worry about it. 10.99 or faster than 135mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtbolt64 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 If you run faster than 11.50 you must have a roll bar. If you run faster than 9.99 you need a 10 point cage. If you run 13.49 or quicker in a convertable you need a roll bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhatch Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 The officials always warned us when the car was too fast to either slow it down or take it home. Usually they let it slide once but when he backed it up then the officials always came over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Haha i'm not in Licking County anymore so Court will have to hold the fort down for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhatch Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Cort said you don't need a cage since you're slower than 15 seconds..just messing w/ ya. I guess technically we don't live in L-county anymore, just work there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Lmfao I bet I could pull a 14.9 with a really good launch and traction the way it sits. Tell Court that until his runs he has no room for talking lmfao! Get that shit done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Ha I know that feeling. I have over 2500 worth of turbo and suspension parts alone just laying around waiting to go on. But lack of time and tools kinda owns me right now. Should have suspension all wrapped up this weekend. Turbo going on next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
