Roll BAR is required by the NHRA for convertibles between 13.49 and 11.00. You'll need a minimum of 5-points including a driver door bar. Most install a 6-point with both driver and passenger side door bars, but driver bar is the only one needed. Swing-out bar is also allowed.
Go faster than 11.00 or 135 mph you'll need an 8-point or higher Roll CAGE. The specific requirements vary depending on how much faster you are going than 11.00.
EDIT: I mis-read the NHRA rule book, new info posted!

I've run deep into the 11's time after time with no bar at all. Just make sure your track is lax on the rules. I'm glad they hire total ******* retards nowadays, otherwise I'd be SOL.
I wouldn't chop up my car just to drive it where it spends about .00005% of it's life. But I personally hate rollbars.....some will toss one in even though they never go to the strip. To each their own.
