I'm sure the bottom line is a matter of following the money trail.
My 87 Mustang street car needs a roll bar if the air is good. (11.40's) I don't want the seat belt hassle, so no roll bar, and I only go when the air is bad. I have no problem with a roll bar and race belts, but just let me use them (race belts) for more than 2 years! I hardly ever run it.
But, I digress. I can't help myself when I see these roll bar threads.
Why not just slow your car down a tenth or so instead of just racing in bad air ? Carry an extra 100 lbs in the trunk, short shift it, install a throttle limiter like when S/G came into nhra's program back in the stone age ?
