[Tigers] Attaching a Rollbar

[Chris Thompson]

How tall are you, Allan?  The bigger issue that you'll like have is 
getting a roll bar sufficiently higher than your head and still be able 
to close the top.

That being said, a bolt-in should do you ok.  Note that the AutoPower 
roll bar is specifically marketed as a "show bar" as they don't consider 
their own product to be sufficient for roll-over protection.  I'm not 
sure why.  Although I can say that Virginia International Raceway thinks 
the AutoPower bar looks ok, excepting that I don't pass the "broomstick 
test", i.e. you can't lay a broomstick across the bar and the windshield 
without my head getting in the way.....

Regards,
