V-10 Nationals FINALS Pre registration deadline

[George Bryce]

Dr Roof, what are the roll bar track rules?
Last time I ran there, we had lots of fast Vettes and Vipers with no bars. GB3

 

[Joseph Dell]

No bars required for V10 Nats...

Thank you Joseph, GB3

Didn't the NHRA just pass rules stating that OEM safety equipment was sufficient for the speeds the factory equipped car would run? Does this take effect in 05? I believe OEM cars can add intake and cat-back exhaust and run whatever they can while being NHRA legal.

Anyone comment on this?

Dave,
I just went through it at MAR last weekend. It is only at NHRA divisional events where the 11.50 rules apply...stock eliminator...etc. All other times at NHRA or IHRA tracks the 11.99 roll bar rule is in effect. Try taking a car that just went 10.35 and dial a 12.00 to run the first round...it was a waste of time. Needless to say, we were asked to leave just like the last 3 times I have been to the track recently.
Later,
Joe
