The roll bar isn't track legal without door bars.

At least a driver door bar, and a crossbar.

Are swing out door bars legal? If his car is a daily driver, that could be a hassle to climb over a bar every time you get in/out.

Re: Rollbar and subframe connector install in my camaro. pics

Thank you for your comments guys. There is no need for door bars, in my country we follow FIA safety rules, and they ask for 4 point rollbar if you go faster than 11.49sec or 120mph. But i guess iŽm not going that fast, so it doesnt really matter. But I would need a crossbar to be legal if that happens and thatŽs a easy add-on.

Yes, swing-out door bars are permitted in NHRA.
