I want to run my 914-v8 at the track, but the rules state that a convertible must have a roll bar if it is faster than 13.49 sec in a quarter mile. Is a car that has a targa top considered a convertible by NHRA standards?

This is my last hope before I call a NHRA tech...

I have a cage in it, but I built it to SCCA Spec and not NHRA. SCCA requires a 1-1/2 DOM vs NHRA 1-5/8 DOM. So I dont know if they are are going to be dicks in tech, plus I need to add the Hoop cross bar for the cage to pass tech ...

Thanks guys....

You tell them it'll run 14 seconds, Then if you run faster than they will let you you wont be able to do any more runs...


Pretty standard for fast convertible street cars.

I've been told it is not classified as a convertible.
