A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile. They WILL enforce this, so if you are faster than that, be prepared to get kicked out after one pass if you lie and tell them your car is in the 15s.

Every rule for your class & no leniency, as Matt said. I was talking to the track manager when I got my chassis cert.
When I saw a guy get chased down the return road, by the fire dept for running a low 9 with only a bar.
They must actually radio the ET limits to them when you run?? or they have good eyesight as you fly by.
From talking to people, it sounds like it will be packed??
