Drag Racing
I can’t decipher the rules at my local tracks both IHRA.
Does anyone know what the rule is regarding convertibles at the drag strip are? Do they have to have a roll bar or is it based on how fast they run? Just can’t make sense of it. |

MY HOME TRACK HAS A PRINTED RELEASE FORM FOR LATE MODEL FACTORY PERFORMANCE CARS THAT YOU SIGN PRIOR TO MAKING ANY RUNS. THERE IS A CUT OFF LOW E.T. FOR CONVERTABLES I BELIEVE, BUT I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE NUMBER IS. WE ARE AN IHRA TRACK.

I LOOKED IN MY IHRA RULEBOOK AND THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT IS THAT A CONVERTABLE HAS TO HAVE A ROLL BAR AT 13.49 TO 10.00. AND AGAIN MY TRACK HAS A WAIVER FORM FOR, I THINK, 2008 AND NEWER FACTORY PERFORMANCE CARS. I THINK THE E.T. CUT OFF WILL VARY FROM DIFFERENT TRACKS BECAUSE I AM PRETTY SURE I HAVE SEEN CONVERTABLES RUN QUICKER THAN 13.50 WITH NO ROLL BAR.

I ran at the track no roll bar 11.40 all day no issues... Now don’t try that at NHRA track ...
Best is to get a group together and go in on track rental.. The rules are more laced then and you sign you life away with wavers
