Convertable roll bars
I'm thinking about having the duel, upside down "U" chrome roll bars installed in my 2002 convertable. I spoke with a guy up at BG at the C5-C6 bash in April and he said he could install them for about $400. BUT - I believe these would be bolted on. I would think that bolted on would not help in (God Forbide) a rollover occurrence. I would need these for the track also. What about roll bars welding to the frame - any suggestions or sources? I live in the Atlanta area. Thanks...TW

For a non-stock corvette, the track will generally require a 5-point rollbar or a hard top (hard top is a track rule, not an NHRA/IHRA rule). Those hoops may afford you some protection, but do not meet the racing body standards.
