i have a 97 saturn sc2, that is gutted. i took the sunroof out and currently there is a sheetmetal bolted to the roof. i passed tech inspection at atco raceway, but i doubt englishtown would let it slide.

i need to know what i have to do to make it legal in the eyes of nhra. i was thinking about using lexan and just bolting it down. that is what they do for lexan windows right?

how fast is the car, you should be fine as long as its secure

Loserkidwac · 02-22-2007, 05:06 PM

Yea i don't think you'll have a problem unless you are going to run sub 12s

boostinsidewayz · 02-22-2007, 06:54 PM

yeah this is for drag racing. i should be in high 13 range now, but i plan/hope to hit 12s this season

zerioustt · 02-22-2007, 07:15 PM

You shouldn't have any issues at all as long as its secured.

HickRocket1258 · 02-22-2007, 11:59 PM

Yeah as long as it is secured you should be ok.

You should be fine. I know a few honda guys that took out thier sun roof and made a sheetmetal insert that is screwed in and they pass tech no problem. Also a bunch of guys have switched over to cf plug and pass tech these are sub 10 second cars btw.

As mentioned above your cool, they dont start to get nitty and gritty untill you start to go sub 10s
