I'll try to go, but if the enforce the new T-Top rule, I'll have to make my first pass on the bottle and hope that it's a good one... Get a high to mid 12 sec pass hopefully @ about 110mph... And then have to just watch the rest of the night.

If I'm not working I'll try to make it out.

The t-top rule is 13.99 and lower, but is NOT in effect until 2004 or so the word is now. Some tracks have decided to use the rule for their own reasons though.

Any T-Top car running 13.99 or quicker needs a 4 point roll cage.

When do I need a roll bar or roll cage, and what should it look like?
A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.99 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.99. The roll bar is accepted in vehicles running as quick as 10.00 second e.t., provided the stock firewall and floorboard is intact, other than for installation of wheel tubs. The rollbar must be constructed of minimum 1 ¾ inch o.d. x .118 inch wall mild steel tubing, or 1 ¾ x .083 chrome moly tubing.





I stole this of Nhra's website ....



This sucks....Unless ur Domestic rice and want to look fast I guess it would be kool....


Later,
Ed

Cool,
I'm glad some of you responded. We'll probably get out there around 6:30 or so. Keep an eye out for me, I got a black 94 T/A with salad shooters and an NHRA sticker on the top of the hatch. Pass the word around throughout the week. Let's get a big ol' crew out there and show the Imports what's up.

11.99 is better than 13.99! My car already runs(used to run) 14.1, and it seems slow as hell.

I thought the T-Top 13.99 rule was for IHRA, not NHRA. OSW is an NHRA track, correct?
