Default NHRA's T-top rule?

They have a new rule that any T-top car running 13.99 or quicker must have a cage. Does this effect us with our removable roof panels?

And where exactly did you get this info from? Sure wasn't the race track. :confused:

I don't believe it.

Check with your race track or with NHRA itself.

There was some BS threads about this last week, but it is pretty obvious that they would never do such a rule. the states wouldn't allow it, as it would cause 10x the amount of hi-po street racing (we're not talking the 15 second hondas here, but us who would have gone to the track with our 12 and 13 second cars).

Also the tracks would be out a LOT of money as their normal weekend racers would not bother paying to have their cars hacked up with a roll bar just so they could run a 13 second 1/4 time..

This would include a lot of t-top cars, Mustangs,vettes, f-bodies, monties, etc.. etc..
