It kind of depends. Yes, it's crazy. Everyone has to have a helmet, but they don't care what kind. If you have a late model Corvette or Viper ect... You can run as quick as you want. The track is an IHRA, even though they dont point race it's crazy. The manager says it due to their insurance, but the head guy at IHRA told them since these Vettes and such are basically engineered to go 200 mph they can go as fast as they want for 660 feet. When I take my 2011 Corvette Grand Sport they don't even look at it. There are several Vettes that run low 7's and high 6's with no bar. I'll have to let you know after tomorrow night, if I go under 7.50, if I get grief for no roll bar in my 79 TA . I have a good friend with a 87 Grand National that got booted when he started going under 7.50. My back up plan is to go to Shady Side in N.C. It's an "outlaw" track and you can run a street car pretty quick there with no roll bar. At least low 7's and even down in the 6's some, but if you are quicker than that then you really do need a bar and or cage. Other than the roll bar deal at Greer they don't actually tech the cars. The guy in the ET shed where you get your slip just looks in your car and calls the tower if needs be.
