The rule in both the NHRA and IHRA is convertibles running 11.00 to 13.49, in the quarter,7.00 to 8.25 in the eighth need a roll bar. You can violate this twice. The first time they will warn you and the second time they will kick you out.

I thought they changed the vert rule last year to allow a little faster time with out a bar. Something to do with stock cars running faster and the rule would disallow bone stock cars from running. I need go check the site. Atco is pretty lenient though all in all. They even let me run with a full faced motorcycle helmet sometimes.

There is no exception in the 2006 rulebooks for "stock" anything.

With respect to helmets, motorcycle helmets are fine except in some classes which require a fireproof lining. What the helmets do require is some level of Snell rating. The date of the rating again depends on the class with the lowest year currently 95.

Must have been the 13.49 that I saw it raised to then. Sucks that you can't run a stock vert at the track technically.

The new rule is any STOCK car (coupe or convertible) can run 11.5 or higher without a roll bar.

11.49 and a roll bar is needed, coupe or convertible.
