Re: Roll bar questions?????
The 6" is from the back of the helmet to the roll bar not the top.

Re: Roll bar questions?????
A double hoop would be a fairly simple install. I think a call to your division tech director is in order.

Re: Roll bar questions?????
Add a Funny Car cage? It would close the driver in better and provide for better seat bracing with a cross bar.

Re: Roll bar questions?????
Looks like it is just a 6 point roll bar not a cage. I would complete the cage if it were me. Also appears the seat is on an adjustable base. push the seat back during tech and move it forward after. Other option would be to move the seat back and extend the pedals so she can reach.

Re: Roll bar questions?????
This is not a rule that is heavily enforced, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think you would have to find a tech guy on a bad day to get bounced over this one. I've built a lot of roll bars and never seen this come up as an issue.

Re: Roll bar questions?????
I have never been teched sitting in the vehicle. I would only be concerned if it were a safety issue for the driver.

Re: Roll bar questions?????
Would love to have your problem Todd...my helmet is against the hoop every pass in the cramped/confined El Camino.
