Got Kicked out of Drag Strip

Hey guys i jest got home from the drag strip taking my evoms 640 kit turbo on the strip. On my first run i got a 11.45 at 124mph and tech guys said i had to leave. I guess the rules down here state that any time under 11.5 you need a 5 point roll bar. Does anyone know where i can get a 5 point roll bar for the 997 turbo?

Thanks

Just keep in mind the rules will get even stricter as you go down in time, out here the big jump is 10.99 or below.

If you are already doing the cage and are going for more power keep a eye out, I had to do a scatter shield and a e cutoff at one point on the cobra but have lost the notes on what speed it was required.

If you need a 4 point roll bar we do have an easy solution found here!

5 point might have to be custom made.
