Carroll,
I have had several discussions regarding height of roll bars on SPF's and the upcoming VIR event with both Mike Stenhouse and the Olthoffs. The following is Mike's responce:
THE RULES SAY ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO PASS THE "BROOM STICK
TEST" FOR "ALL CLASSES".
"The "low speed runs" are (1) the autocross and (2) the highway speed
instructional laps on the track. The "high speed" events are the sessions
on the track including all classes. All drivers running on the track at
speed in all classes will be required to pass the broomstick class. The
requirement is a VIR requirement. It is a requirement of a growing number of
tracks as well. It is a fact of life for track events.
As Dennis has noted, once you have been to a track event, you will be back.
So you will get to use the taller rollbar many times.
I have ducal chromed roll bars, which were a significant investment. I am
going to either leave the taller roll bar in place or go to full width for
street safety as well. It is part of the price of performance."
I ordered a taller single bar steup for my side only last week. What next?
