11.49 Roll Bar?
 
So my local track (Infineon Raceway) is on my ass about getting a roll bar since the truck is running 11.40s. Id love to keep running my truck but I also don't want to destroy any kind of re-sale, or do some crazy cage through the rear glass. Anyone have any ideas of something that I can install, and still keep the truck daily drive able, and legal? Post pics if you got them! Thanks!

Once you put a cage in it, the game changes a lot. Make sure you are prepared........or have some self control.

I had the same idea after getting the boot from all the tracks around me. Went to the chassis shop for a simple 8.50 legit cage and you see where I'm at now. If you don't know my truck, it doesn't get many miles put on it anymore lol. Hell, my last motor needed a freshen after about 10 miles. lol (that would be .25 miles at a time if you know what I mean).

Yeah that's what kinda sucks, there's one more track around I could go to that I don't think really plays by the rules, but it's a garbage track. And those new rules are for "stock" cars 2008+ that run faster than 11.49 don't need a cage. Anything with an aftermarket supercharger needs a bar.

I drive my truck like 300+ miles a week. Maybe I'll find me a new roller and ruin that lol
