DV, yes I did have the collar on but it was my first pass and I wasn't anticipating the car to hook all that well with street tires. I watched the video in slow-mo, 1.50 60ft threw my upper torso back and compressed the seatback enough to allow contact with the rollbar. When I installed the bar I didn't take into account the helmet or gs, I went for visual aesthetics. This was a few years ago.
I have other issues to look into. The local track where I run always considered my three bar hoop legal because it was their view that it was a (wink,wink)'factory design'. Well that track is closing this summer after 54yrs because LI needs more golf courses. My problem will be fitting a NHRA cage into the car, I don't think I will go that route, and will probably stop racing the car, or even sell it. It's funny because I started out building my cobra as a track only car (halo and all) and decided 1/3 of the way thru to make it a street car and cut the cage back out.
I'm thinking about taking up golf....
