Re: Progress of Bowtie motor
Here you go. This is from the NHRA web site and the new rule books should be out this month.
"Steel-bodied pickup trucks (7.50 seconds and slower), roll cages are permitted with no back braces if the roll cage satisfies SFI 25.1E, 25.2, 25.4, or the roll cage consists of a four-point (door car) cage with a complete SFI 2.4B, 2.5B, 2.6, 2.7A dragster, SFI 10.2, 10.3 altered, or SFI 10.4 street roadster roll cage/driver's compartment incorporated into and attached to the four-point roll cage. An upper windshield bar is mandatory."

The new 2009 rule book is not out yet. It should be out in the next couple of weeks. The paragraph I posted is from the NHRA site regarding new rule changes that are supose to be in the new rule book. If your cage meets the required spec then you will not have to have the rear bars. Your cage should meet the spec required as it would have had to pass last years rules with the rear bars just the same.
