Roll Bar
OK so I need someone to try and explain this roll bar deal to me... I am going to be needing something since I will be running faster than 10.00. All of the tracks that I race at say my car is good to 10.00 as it sits, no bar no nothing. So I email with RPM about their 6 point bolt in system and they tell me its good to 10.00??? They are telling me I need the 8.50 bar which is way more than what I am willing to do! I like to take this car on nice leisurely drives on the weekends! I would be willing to bet if I installed the 6 point system with belts that 99% of the tracks would see that and have no issue with me running faster than a 10.00? Now a NHRS/IHRA license will need to be had but thats not a big deal.
Anyone here run into this situation? Thanks!

Well I got away with running 9.41 and the new owner ran 9.33@149 and I had a 6 pt bolt in Chromoly with swing out door bars from RPM Roll Bars. If you go down to 8.50 it will have to be at least a 10 pt if I remember correctly and will need to be welded in. I even ran an NMCA event with no issues in the TVS Throwdown. Maybe I got lucky.

Cool! What color are you planning on doing? My car is Arctic Blue Metallic with the Ceramic White interior (insert Miami Vice music lol), so I’m going to do the powder coated white roll bar. But always interesting to see other combos, so post up your pics!

Thats funny!!! I really like your color car! One of the best IMO! I was just planning on doing black... Was thinking red but I dont want it to stand out. I will post some pics when its done! Waiting on axles which are way back ordered.. The first time I take it to the track I am gonna play dumb and do some 1/8 mile blasts and make sure it hooks... then I will let it eat! then leave! lol

Interested to see the pics. I am also going to be doing a 6pt from RPM and debating what color to do. Was thinking black but kind of want to do white. The car is black but convertible with the hash stripes on the front in like white/silver
