Roll Bar for a vert?

Chipdog · 10-11-2001, 08:07 PM

After my last run at the track being a 14.2 with lots of room for better driving I was told that when I pass 13.99 I will need a roll bar. Now I have a "style bar" and I understand that its not gunna help in a roll over but I really don't dont like the hard core look of a true roll bar. Is there somthing out there for me or am I gunna be stuck with hard tubes behind my head?

Get a hard top, and you won't need roll bars until your going 11.99 or faster, or stop drag racing... Or.... get your roll bars like everyone else with a vert

Not much choice. Roll bars look sweet in a hard top, but in a convertable... Hmmm *thumbs down*

Just make sure if you get a bar that goes across the front seats to leave enough room for them to move back. Oh and be nice to the rear passengers and leave them room too.

I love the way my 8 point looks on my vert. Especially with the top down

I made that one in my pic custom. it's a 6-pt. welded one and hard as **** to get in and out of

Faster than 13.99 you need the "hard tubes" as you called them. In my opinion, the "generic" roll bars and cages don't look good in a vert with the top down. It makes them look like a Jeep.
