POC has a rule against passengers (instructors/students) riding in the car if there is a cage tube crossing their 'space'. Apparently there was a fatal crash years ago where contact with this type of bar was deemed to be a factor, so they are not at all flexible on this rule.
Sooo...my choices are to either make it removable, or just ditch it entirely. Will making it removable negate the extra stiffness added by this bar? If so then I wouldn't bother. In that case, what is the best way to remove a welded bar like this? I sure don't want to have to redo a significant portion of the cage. Is it OK to just cut it out and then grind down the welds? I am kind of inclined to just ditch this bar and perhaps add some more tubing to the chassis & pickup points to add more stiffness. In the POC points-based classification system this is only 1 pt IIRC and I think I can 'afford' it class-wise. Any advice appreciated. |
