Default rollbar

Does anyone Know if my car needs the full cage or will the 6 point half bar work for the nhra.What i'm looking at it is not real specific on it for convertible.

The half bar i can order and have done before saturday.the full cage will have to wait for a few more weeks.

The six point should be good for the convertible up to 11.00 ET

Look at roll bar requirements.

technically speaking, the 5 point roll bar passes NHRA spec.

It's about gawd damm time ! lol ! Just kidding. You'll like having that thing in there. Peace of mind about roll over protection is a nice feeling when you're going fast.

From what I understand a chrome rollbar is illegal for NHRA stuff because of the heat the chrome puts into the metal when it is dipped, weakens the welds or something like that...
