Default Re: DRAG RACING at Moroso (Palm Bch Fl) Was nicely told my racing was over

I was talking about the height of my roll bars...they need to be raised to pass what is called the broomstick test...if they lay a broomstick from the windshield frame to my roll bar, it must clear my helmet by 2"....rt now, unless I hunker down in my seat, it hits my helmet...and I am a short guy, so for you guys over 5'7"...it would be more...I purchased some MB bars for a 170...that I may install this winter, they will give me the necessary height w/ some modifications...but still not sure I can pass an inspection at the drag strip, should be able to club race though...and 1/4 mile may go by the wayside for 1000' times, which is just hole shot crap...it will ruin drag racing in IMHO>>>Look at Riot's helmet compared to his roll bar behind his head...you see how high the helmet is compared to the bar...and we don't usually race w/ the top down...he must be hot that day....LOL
