Hi Eric,
I run the drags for fun in my cobra. You need a 6 point rollbar or a roadster cage. Take a look at my pic gallery and you'll see my rollbar,I have bolt in side bars,one low one for the street and a higher one for the track,has to be just under your shoulder. The main hoop has to be 3" over your head. You need arm restrains, sfi 5 point harness dated within 2 years,sfi jacket,snell full face helmet, rear battery disconnect switch, safety switch so you can't start car in gear.driveshaft loop,battery hold downs with 3/8" rod.Double carb return springs. This will be good to tech down to 11.00 ET, if you want to go faster, then you need forged axles, sfi harmonic balancer and flex plate or a scattershield if you run under 12.00 . Also a full cage or roadster cage and full sfi suit and boots.
Good Luck,
Perry.
