What does the NHRA Rules say about...

[Donny Carlson]

convertibles with hard tops, like the SSR, Thunderbird, XLR and such. If they are run with hard shell tops, do they need roll bars like the rag top vesions do under 14 sec ET?

I'l like to wade in a due a little runnin myself. Heck, if Big Yellar can do it, it has to be fun.

Donny, it is great fun, do it. Run like the wind and let the track people tell you what is ok or not ok.:D

As long as your removable hardtop is intact during your run, you do not need a rollbar.

Because if it says "RollBAR" then you don't need a "cage" (atleast not until your car get's below 10 seconds)....right???
