Default Roll Bar question

is it legal in NHRA to have removable door bars on a 5 or 6-point roll bar? it would be so much easier to take them out for street use and then put them back in when you go to the track. my ideal setup would include a 5-point cage with removable door bars. would this be fine for the track? thanks

Jacob

Just get a swing out-style roll bar, and remove the bolted end (the one by the front floor part of the door bar), remove the quick pin and you're done!

I have a 5-point bar and I'll take out my driver door bar for the 2 months of driving when the track is closed.
