If your running at a NHRA or IHRA track I can't see you passing tech without the back bars, I'd be surprised if it did, especially running in the 9's where chassis cert. is required. I've heard of some inspectors accepting a funny car type enclosure in lew of the back bars coming off the top hoop, but they still had to run them just at box level, but this was on a 10 sec and slower tech. ( I know there is a board member on here that runs that type of setup )

Best thing to do is find out who does the inspections in your area and disscuss with them what would pass inspection before you start building. Seen guys before that did alot of work for nothing.
