I haven't heard about this, but who knows? Our track goes by IHRA rules, so it probably wouldn't apply here anyways.

ROLL BAR
Roll bar mandatory in all cars (including T-tops) running 11.00

13.49 (*8.25), and in all dune-buggy-type vehicles running 12.00
(*7.50) seconds and slower. Permitted in all cars. See General
Regulations 4:10, 10:6.


ROLL CAGE
Roll cage mandatory in cars running 10.99 (*6.99) or quicker or any

Some tracks want a full cage starting at 10.99 and quicker for NHRA competition. Sometimes a 8pt roll bar is ok down to 10.00.
