I like mine, but I have a friend that is bigger than me and hates it. Once your in the car it is fine but the only problem is crawling over the door bars getting in.

Heres a question, do the door bars prevent you from resting your arm on your door arm pad like probably alot of us like to do from time to time??

Nope not at all. My arms and legs never touch the bars while I'm in the car.

Hey Carlos, is that a 10 or 12pt? Where did you get it from? I figured if I go with a cage I might as well go all out the first time!

It's a Wolfe Racecraft 10 point. I was gonna do a 6 at first and also figured I might as well just do the 10 point the first time.

Per the NHRA rulebook:

A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.99 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.99. 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:




If the floor and/or firewall has been modified, then a full roll cage is required beginning at a 10.99 e.t. A full roll cage is required in any vehicle running 9.99 seconds or quicker, and any vehicle running 135 mph or faster (regardless of e.t.). The roll cage must be constructed of minimum 1 5/8 o.d.x .118 mild steel tubing, or 1 5/8 x .083 chrome moly tubing, and must conform to the following diagram:

The roll cage of any vehicle running 9.99 or quicker, or 135 mph or faster, must also be certified by NHRA every 3 years, and have a serialized sticker affixed prior to participation.
