Default Options?

My local drag strip says if I go any faster in my convertible I must get a roll bar. What are my options since I have a vert? Not really sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your options are get a roll bar or dont go under. What is the limit for verts, 13.49 or faster?

Maybe you can find another track that will let you slide and go a little under.

I kinda figured that. I was asking what options I have in terms of roll bars. What do other guys with verts have?

The track guys here say 12.9 or faster.
