Roll Bar question.
Looking to install a roll bar, 5-point or 6-piont and want to know if I can remove the Door Bars for the passenger and driver for when I am not drag racing to make it easier to get in and out of the car. IF this is possible will it still pass NHRA rules.
Looking to start racing in the west coast challenge and it states Cars running faster than 12.00 seconds will require a roll bar and the driver to wear a fire jacket. You will also need a five-point restraint system.
What are some of you doing so that you can compete but also be able to take your car out and not have to climb in and out of you car through the window

You can have a removable swingout. Makes daily driving much easier. I have some pics of the removable bar if you want to see what they look like :seeya

Re: Roll Bar question. (Harley99)
ECS is doing mine and it's frame welded, legal with custom, removable swingouts on both sides :D
I'd give ya pics, but apparently I'm not allowed to see my own car during the build :skep: :D

Re: Roll Bar question. (supercoupe01)
Thanks, Bill and Chris for sending me the PIC's. That is some sweet looking work. I love the look of a Vette with a roll bar.
I posted the pics figured that would give everyone a chance to get the Idea.
Here you go.

Re: Roll Bar question. (Harley99)
Can you still store the top in the back with the cage installed?
Were the seats in the full down position in the pics? I am 6'5" and head/leg room are of major importance to me. It looks like my head or helmet may hit on the top bar of the cage.
Looks great though!
