Roll bar required for 11.49 or faster . Unless your car is 1.66 under the index you can use the belts that came in it . Look in the NHRA archives under Stock Nov. 2007 . Mike

Mike, the general regs may say that, but the Stock section of my NHRA rule book clearly states, under roll bars, "Mandatory in A/S thru M/S,A/SA thru M/SA, and all convertibles....". It doesn`t make any execptions for cars slower than 11.49. And unfortunately, I`m nowhere close to 1.66 under!
