I peeked at the rules and didn't notice any exemptions to the roll-bar rules. It actually seemed to be 'skirted-around' w/ the scattershield @ 11.49 rule in effect. I've just seen so much press lately about the F.A.S.T. times and having to sandbag (like SS racing in '69) until eliminations. Personally, I'd like to see the NHRA make an amendment to the rules for this particular type of racing as the times are below their limits for rollbars. Maybe some sort of legal waiver is in order for this particular class? Hey, if drag boat events can occur,

there should be plenty of room for a well developed/monitored F.A.S.T. class.
