the 5 point is legal,the swingout is questionable.

if the nhra tech guy is ****,the swingout could make you fail.

Please explain how?

Contrary to his own rulebook?

Direct quote from NHRA Rule book article 4:10 Roll Bars:
"Swing out side bar permitted" and "Swing out side bar permitted on OEM full body car 7.50 e.t. and slower.

Then in article 4:11 the rule book specifically states how to build a swing out.

Uh.......HD. Its got to be installed to be legal.

And dont be silly like me and forget you need a 5 point and padding on the door bar.

Cowboy,i dont go that often. Atco tech guys seem to HATE DE cars. they bust our nuts everytime we go. if i trailer the car in,it's 10x worse.

i usually run at Cecil and a few trips to Etown.
