No bearing on NHRA Stock Eliminator , where you need a roll bar @ 12 .85.

I call street cars stockers too, maybe I should have been more clearer...

NHRA has actually rescinded its previous guidelines for street vehicles running 9.99 to 11.49 that required the use of a roll cage or roll bar, now permitting unaltered, 2008 and later model hard top vehicles to compete as they come from the factory without the addition of said roll bar/cage.

Yes, if you have M/SA or higher on the window.

Love it in O/SA

Re: New Stockers
 
My problem would be removing the weight a roll-bar would add so I could stay in N/SA!

Happened last night. New or not the safety equipment should not be optional at 130mph trap speeds.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I posted this, why would NHRA even consider this, is having more street cars show up to the track making them money then making them safe.

Did NHRA change its motto from "Dedicated to Safety" to something else recently, to reflect such changes? I find it odd that NHRA is fine with 7 second "street cars" running down its tracks with crazy HP from boost or nitrous, on 275 "Drag radials", or 8 1/2 x 26 slicks. All this Extreme racing stuff just seems like a breeding ground for wrecks. And now 10.0 ET cars basically need NO saftey equipment, if they are 2008 or newer. I guess the laws of Pyhsics don`t apply to newer cars.

Not a good idea anyway you cut it, not having a bar or cage at 130+mph.
