Question on 6 point roll bar I recently purchased a 6 point jig notched roll bar from a board member for very cheap. He bought it a few years back, and never did anything with it, other than let it sit in the elements. It has some rust, but I am in the process of sandblasting it piece by piece at work and prepping it for paint. My question is, the roll bar has a removable cross bar. I know this is NOT NHRA legal, but if I weld the cross bar in place, so that it is no longer removable, would that pass tech, or would they still gripe about it? If it won't then I won't bother to weld it up.

The crossbar welds in yes, but has pins much like a removable swing arm to be able to take it out. I was thinking of welding the joint up and removing the pins to make it 100% not removable.
if you weld it you should be ok how far pass 11.49 are you if the are only goes like 11.30s ur sum thing they may nt never say any thing about it if its not weld my home track is very lenient on sum things

Right I understand that. I meant if you fully weld the bar in so you can't remove it, you will be fine.

It takes about 15 minutes per bar sandblasting it, not long at all. Only time I have to work on it though is my lunch break, so it will just be a drawn out process doing 1 bar a day.
