roll BAR

Looking for some insight... I have a chris alston 8 point roll bar kit for my 1955 chevy. I was planning on installing it as a 6 point without the rear struts that would tie into the frame in the bed.

I don't live anywhere near a track (closest one is in Palmer AK and that's a 6 hour drive for me one way, however i do go down once or twice a year). I'd like to be covered for next time i go to the track and just general street driving, they basically said don't come back without a cage or bar.

So i've been studying the rule book and checking out other members build threads. This rule has me perplexed: "All vehicles with OEM frame
must have roll bar welded or bolted to frame"
(NHRA 2020 section 4:10)

Initially i thought we would have to weld outriggers to the frame, drill holes and then weld the main hoop and doors bars to those. But reading that rule it doesn't appear so. Anyone ever bolt one in?
