Sounds perfectly legal to me, what makes you think otherwise?

NHRA requires a 5-point bar from 11.49 to 10.00 in a non-convertible vehicle. Swing-outs and over the rear seat bars are allowed, but there is a diagram that shows where the door bar and back hoop must be positioned.

Provided it was installed correctly and the tubing is legal size, you're good!

it is a wolfe jig notched 6 point, so it should be the right size.

From what I understand the only problem you would have with a wolfe would be if it had the optional removable crossbar which is not legal.

sounds like you should be okay with a wolfe bar, a welded crossbrace, and if the bars are all in the right place.
