The 2005 NHRA announced rules regarding roll bars and safety equipment will remain in effect for the 2008 drag racing season. First off the Hardtops will be able to run and dial in at 11.50 during eliminations and time trials. All other rules will continue to apply for these cars. Convertibles will go from 14.00 to 13.50 during eliminations and time trials for an eliminator. If a convertible is PURE STOCK it will be able to run up to 11.50 in time trials and on street nights, but it must be stock. No sticky tires, aftermarket bolt-ons, Nitrous, etc. will be allowed. Tech inspection will determine if a car is legal for the PURE STOCK rules. We will allow convertibles to run 12.80's or so as an example if they fit all the rules. The final say whether someone's car is legal and fits the PURE STOCK theme is totally up to the RP management. For more info on these and all NHRA rules, you should join the NHRA or purchase a 2005 NHRA rulebook.
