Last rock falls this year?

technicaly it's a roll bar till you get a 10 pt. Then you have the door pillar bars and a halo bar, making it more of a CAGE. I read that a parachute is now required or will be next year for 135mph traps. Not sure if it's true yet or not, but discussing it with a track official at brainerd he said he wouldn't put it past NHRA to require that. Most people who race spend more time and money keepin up with the rules, then with upgradin and testing their cars.

as for the chute everything I can find is you don't need one untill you are trapping 150mph or faster but I couldn't find any info on them changing that so it may be possible
