Door bars in SP with a composite door

[eastcoastbumps]

[quote=Old Rule]Cars using composite doors must have tubing of the same size and thickness as the roll bar/roll cage, running from shoulder height (while seated) forward to at least 85% of the door opening. [/quote]

How do you require a door bar attached to a cage in a class that does not require a cage?

Will cars that have composite doors from the factory (Lotus, Corvette, etc) be required to run a cage with a door bar if they decide to run in SP rather than ST or SS?

Good points, Pete!

Yow! That problem already exists, with the current wording. This could get gnarly.
Maybe the answer is to say that if you have composite doors (and/or what else, you may ask?), a roll bar is also required.

Obviously not. I need to reword it to specify an aftermarket door.

Maybe we should only allow doors that are made out of the same material as the original doors in SS, ST and SP.

You took the words right out of my mouth Dan. The slopes are too damned slippery!

I think Street Prepared cars should all be required to have power door locks, AC, bluetooth, sat nav, backup cameras, and power windows like my car.

Or maybe just a license tag and registration so STREET means STREET.

Careful there Bert ..... I have a legit plate & VIN # & registration & insrurance & full windshelid w/ required two speed bolt wiper to keep in the trunk & w/ a new motor (think about 450-500 hp) on the way we could really make it interesting !!!!!!!!!!!! NNNAAAAAAA .. I'll just stick w/ PA, no rules to follow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course it also states kit cars belong in prepared, or SP if so equiped.
I have door bars in my cobra, but they are only 3/4" square tube.
