PDX roll bar Options

[blitZ]

I'm interested in participating in my local SCCA PDX events. Apparently, our cars require a roll bar. Where is a good place to get one and what are the specs of the bar? If anyone has pics of their installment, please post.

Thanks

How offical of an approval do you want? There may be supplemental rules that your local region has written that supercede the national rules, but I can tell you that as far as the current TTR goes, keeping the hardtop on will allow you to run as-is at a PDX event. Once you go up to higher level events, the issue becomes a little more complicated though...

As always, a roll bar or cage is a very good idea when taking your car onto the big track, but it is not required for Level 1 (PDX) events so long as you have the factory hard top in place.

As for approval authority?

Ultimately, it's up to the Chief Steward of your event series if there are any supps that will supercede the TTR. But if you want an authoritative ruling...I'm the Divisional Time Trials Program Manager for the Rocky Mountain Division, and a standing member of both the National Time Trials Administrative Council and the National Time Trials Safety Council.
