Netting and Roll Cage...

I'm working on a 85 Corvette and am going to put a safety net in the top of
the roll cage.  At speedweek, the other vets I saw had the net ON TOP of
the roll cage which seems backward to me.  If the car goes over, I would
want the netting on the UNDERSIDE of the roll cage so it didn't get worn
off in an extended slide.

Two questions:  

1.  For a GT class car, is there rule that "I missed" as to mounting a TOP
net above or below the roll cage?  (I'm not talking about the side nets)

2.  Suggestions for a good source of safety netting material???  Figure 4'
by 3' as a ball park.
