Hi all;
Note that there is a difference in the definitions of "roll bar" and "roll
cage" in the rule book.

"Roll bars"  (figure 1) must be 1-3/4 dia. .120 wall. If you run classes
G,H,I,J & K and the existing record is under 175 mph you can use 1-1/2 dia
.095 wall. Figure 1 shows a typical coupe and sedan installation.

"Roll cages" (figure 2)  must be 1-5/8  dia .120 wall. If you run classes
G,H,I,J & K and the existing record is under 175 mph you can use 1-1/2 dia
.095 wall. Figure 2 shows a typical lakester/roadster installation.

Hope this helps.
Jim in Palmdale
