Yes for your own sake please put at the very least a solid roll bar into it. ![http://www.bethania-garage.com/images/crash/crash_hardbar3.jpg](http://www.bethania-garage.com/images/crash/crash_hardbar3.jpg) ![http://www.bethania-garage.com/images/crash/crash_m2sport7.gif](http://www.bethania-garage.com/images/crash/crash_m2sport7.gif) Plenty of glory results come up when you google miata roll bar crash, not linking those to here. Pictures tell the story however, slow cars can flip, car like this is a death trap. ---

The silver car they got lucky and it stuffed once in the grass on the drivers side rear and flopped back on the wheels. Notice the windshield is still 100%, IE it never took a hit. the black one was upside down for a while and came to a rest like that. Not hitting a concrete wall, or tumbling away. Physics are a bitch, centrifugal forces and G forces are why NHRA makes you use something other than a cheezy oem 3 point lap belt. And both of the those were 50-65mph… not 130-150mph. Lift at the end of the track at 140, ass end gets loose, cross lane and hit the wall… you get the picture. Not to mention a wrinkle wall rear, just waiting to fold over, plant and pogo a car in a high speed slide. Wouldnt catch me out there running the car for what its worth without a cage, window net, 5 pt, fire suit, etc… you know the NHRA legal stuff for a car that capable. EDITED BECAUSE THEY BEAT ME TO THE PICS… ---

BTW cage on the street. Padding is required around the driver bars, a proper harness shouldn’t let your dome contact cage bars anyway… not to mention the hoop is BEHIND the drivers head, not on the side of it… so I dont see where your head would really contact anything to begin with.
