Default Vert questions re: drag at the track

What are the rules on bringing a vert to the track. How fast can ya go before having to get a roll bar or something. I think I heard 13's? Any WS6 can do 13's stock. What's the solution?

Thx

Possibly thinking of Cobra vert? Not sure yet though.

verts need a roll bar if doing 13.99 or quicker.

You need to check with your local track, HRP only requires a helmet and I'm running 12's.

Yes, check with your local track. What night you go can also make a difference, Gainesville is a lot more lenient on their "street legal nights." Check out www.speedwaysonline.com most have links to their tech/rules.
