like i said in post 5, nhra states the crossbar and rear bars must be welded to the main hoop. you can buy roll bars with removable centers but technically that will fail track inspection and you won't be allowed to run under 11.5. if you do, you get teh boot.

edit: well i was a little late to the party :lol:

don't be rice. you don't **** with safety for looks. like morons with civics with dangerously installed 5 point harnesses. a seat belt should make you safer not less safe.

if you need a cage, have one installed by the rule book for the racing you participate in (different organizations have different rules). a cage makes the back seat unusable.

I don't mean to sound like a dick, but safety is a huge peeve of mine. the ramifications from ignoring safety rules can have tragic results

I completly agree bonzo.

That was kinda the point of this thread. As much as I like it I will prob not do it. For all the factors listed. Safety/fuctionality are top of the list. I deal with safety all day everyday so I understand the 'compassion' for it. Like I said this was for research/info BEFORE I do go forward with my build.

Appreciate all the responses.
