when will I need a roll cage?
What's the quickest I can run before I need a roll cage in my car?
Anyone know where I can get a bracket racing rule book? With the set up I have now, I should be deep in the 13's and could probably tweak it to get 12's I won't get a chance to find out though until next spring.

11.49 IHRA or 11.99 NHRA. I believe these are both for a roll bar though (like a 6 point setup). I am assuming you don't have a convertible.

With traction you should easily be in the 12's.

According to NHRA
11.99- 6pt roll bar (13.99 for convertibles) 9.99- roll cage You can pick up a rule book at your local track or ask at your local performance shops, they should be able to hook you up with one. If not try www.nhra.com or www.ihra.com and I think you can order a rule book online.
