Joe, Rocky, ..
All of our ITA and ITS cars had full cages back in the late 1980s, so I
can't imagine that the production classes (other than perhaps showroom stock)
could have been running without full cages before 2000.
I am also wondering whether the full cage requirements were imposed at
different times on open cars vs coupes, sedans.

I think it was probably 2000. That year I went to get an annual and flunked
and the front support was one of the reasons, so the tech inspector was nice
enough to write nothing in my logbook. Since I was only planning to do a
couple of regionals after not racing in '99, I bagged that and went and
fixed the car instead. I have annuals in the book in 1999 and 2001 on
adjacent pages -- until this year 2000 is the only gap since 1995.
In '72 only the roll bar was required by GCR. My car's logbooks go back to
then, when logbooks were first required, and the pictures in that book show
only a rollbar. Pictures in my second logbook, issued in '79, also show only
the bar. I don't think I put in the cage until the early '80s, and even then
it was not yet required.
