would this pass chassis certification?

The issue is........ And most people don't understand this........

Roll bars are great crash protection if you are in a harness and have a helmet on.

They are incredibly dangerous in even minor accidents if you are using your skull as a helmet and a standard lap belt to hold you in place.

I agree with this and think it was very well said. Regarding the original post I don't think the roll bar would pass at most NHRA tracks.
