Roll/harness bar question in SSU

[rajito]

Dudes,<br>
<br>
If I have to remove the back seat to install a roll/harness bar, would my car still be SSU legal? I can probably assault the back seat with some sort of device to make it fit with the roll/harness bar in place, but would rather not.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Raj

Raj, I'm not the best souce for rules interpretation, but since you have no other responses, here goes: I think that you can delete seats and/or interior panels for the purpose of installing a roll bar. You are likely to add nearly as much weight as you will take out, so it should not be a competitive advantage from a weight standpoint. The way you drive I would think the club would encourage you to have a roll cage <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Rules section F.5. talks about allowing interior modifications<br>
to permit the installation of the roll bar/cage. Although<br>
the rule specifically talks about door panels, as it says,<br>
as long as the modifications appear reasonable to a<br>
Steward, then they should be OK. If it looks obvious to<br>
most people that excessive modifications were made, then<br>
you would be bumped up one class (in this case, probably<br>
to STGT), as allowed by the rule.<br>
