Default Convertible Question

My local drag strip says if I go any faster in my C5 convertible I must get a roll bar. What are my options since I have a vert? What kinds of roll bars do you C5 vert guys have? Not really sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I use a WOLFE bolt in 5 point. I am good to 11.00. It was easy to install. It took about 3 hours to complete. I will add pictures after I upload them.
Or you can get a hardtop.

IF it is an NHRA track then minimum next step is to get a 5 point (one side bar on the driver's side). Wolfe has bolt in and weld in.
