Default Funny thought

I was reading up on the NHRA rules and realized there are a whole lot of car's that "require" 6-point roll cages stock... lol. What do all the Lamborghini/Porsche 911 turbo s/Gtr/Bugatti/Viper acr/Corvette zr1 guys do about that problem? I doubt anyone will want to mess up there car by putting a roll cage in a lamborghini aventador... lol. Am I the only one to wonder about this?

They make there best pass and then get kicked off but some tracks let you make runs on Test&Tune w/ out throwing you off.

Usually the local tracks here will let the "stock" ones run with out a bar...

Letting the fast stockers slide is reasonable. As long as they are unmodified, these cars are safer with no roll bar than the typical drag car with a cage. As soon as you start committing the engineering atrocities that we drag racers employ to reduce weight and increase traction, you need to start adding steel tubing.
