Go to NHRA website. Depending on the time your running, it's not hard to fall into the 10 point catagory.

I wouldnt waste my money on a 5 point. The 6 is safer and will tie the car together better. It is your life so spend your money where it counts.

NHRA has a 5-point roll bar rule for cars running 11.99 - 10.00, for cars running 9.99 or faster NHRA requires a 10-point roll cage. As said by Madman, go with a 6-point roll bar for true safety, if you don't want a cage.

IHRAs new 2005 rule for t-top cars. If you run faster than 10.99 in the 1/4 or 6.99 in the 1/8 you have to have a 10 point cage.
