I see a lot of guys on here making good power and running fast 1/4's with nice looking cars but what about the roll bar, everybody running one that runs a 11.5 (?)or faster time. Now I'm debating again wanted to do some track time 5-6 times a year but not sure I wont to add that bar and hack up my car. I wouldn't wanna take that thing in and out just to go to the track but guess there's no best of both worlds. I know it's for safety. Guess I could just shoot for 11.5 but thats no fun or run until they tell me to not come back?
What about that funky roll bar!!

Who the heck is going to tell you to not get a roll bar and continue to run fast till you get kicked out? You could end up in a funky wheelchair.
+1. Along with other safety equipment (driveshaft safety loop, for example), that protects the person in the lane next to you and the people watching the race in addition to yourself.
Guess that answers my question everyone that run's below a 11.5 on here has a rollbar. I'm all for the bar but not for leaving it in all the time, if it was a track car only for sure. Need one that could get in/out fairly easy. Why upgrade your blower, why do need 650 whp for a street car.

I was talking like my brother in law has been running below 10 for a while now without a cage and been getting away with it for months.
I wouldn't add a cage unless it was a track only car....pita for a daily driver...
I dont think they asked you not to return because of no cage, maybe it was because of your driving
oke:Yeah I'd be worried about lining up beside a guy like that, good chance an axle would break and he would take me out. At out track you sign a paper stating you have the neccessary equipment to race your time. If you kill someone and it ends up in court you could lose everything, not sure about the law in your area.
I have an RPM 6 point. The door bars are swing outs. Best part is, just remove the lower reciever bolt and u can daily drive it without the door bars. Takes no time to put the bars back in. Get in and out no problem. The seat is still fully adjustable and i dont even notice it in the car anymore plus i daily drive her. The foot recievers are in such a place it never interferes with ur feet. RPM bars are pricey, but they nailed it.

we can line up any day you like Ben :beer:
I have the RPM to and the back seat is still usable, it just takes a little LIMBO action lol!
I see you have a 10 sec. car, do you go to the track often if so what about the roll bar.

Yeah but if you ever sell it your going to have to sell to a person that want's that car, seems if you took the bar out be holes everywhere.
sounds good to me:beer:
No matter which way you slice it, a bolt in bar or a custom bar...its going to take a person that wants it set up that way. may be a little harder to sell
there is no legal bar out there that can be installed without cutting up some interior pieces that can be replaced and making some holes in car. also the saftey factor of using the rear seat
Got them through Revan Racing back during a sale. Think they were $1150. Installed myself.

Its really not that big of a deal. I could weld the holes and seal them. I knew going into it that i'd never sell this car. After my 4r70 and 9" go in, ill basically be beyond ever being able to sell it but thats fine with me. This is my toy and i treat it as such
