Hey young Phil...are you still on the same thread ??

Anyway,

I know the new rules don't effect everyone, but with regard to the roll bar requirements.
I have a bit of a problem with these.

I very much appreciate the organizers wanting to make sure that the drivers are safe, and I applaud their efforts....
However,
Iwould find it hard to justify the expense of changing my roll bar set up, which I believe to be sound, but perhaps not complying with these new requirements.

The other problem I have is the roll bar height.

My seats are a little thicker than the standard fibreglass bucket seat, and this results in my helmet being at least level with the top of my hoops, maybe even slightly higher.

The solution would be I suppose, to enter in the "Street tyres" category, which will keep me out of the faster group, and thus avoid the new rule changes.

The trouble with this is, that I can ussure you, I would be a bloody sight safer on Toyo Proxes, and doing 1.10 , than I will be on street tyres and doing 1.15.

Not sure what to do.

I'm sure there will be a solution.
