Default Roll Bars for Convertibles

I have been looking into track driving for my car. I just want to go to a track get a little training and drive the car for all she's worth. My mustang club has several performance driving schools that I want ot try. I can take my vert but I have to stay in the novice division unless I get a 4 point roll bar. I have found some fairly unobtrusive and decent looking rollbars that still leave therear seats usable.

I know if I wanted to track the car, why buy a convertible, but nothing like buzzing down a curvy road with the wind blowing! Just wondering if anybody put one of these things on.

Appreciate any thoughts.

Well, I finally finished my 4 point roll bar installation from Autopower. It was a little more work than the directions but it definitely fit nicely. If any one needs help or advice I can sure help, I probably made all of the mistakes and time burners you can on this project. I will get some pics up on the site soon.

I have experienced my first HPDE last month and recommend that to all. Next stop the Rock!

I am no road racer. I have a custom six-point ollbar. I had mine built from chrome-moly to meet NHRA specs for drag racing.
i love surprising people when they think coupes are faster than convertibles!
