Default rollbar question

if i wanted to make the tubes which extend towards the rear of the car removable, i would weld stubs onto the rear frame and use pins to hold these tubes in place, would this setup be legal (nhra, etc.) for drag racing?

any input would help, as always, thank you boys :cheers:

No it would not. I'm not sure about using bolts though.

bolts wouldn't be a problem, in fact they would be better and probably what i would end up using anyways :yesnod:
do you think that the fasteners would be the only issue, or do they not want anything removable like that? :cheers:

I think it's mostly the r movable part. Me personally I would want it to be permanent, I think it's more solid that way.
