A/Mod cars have to have a rollbar conforming to appendix C of the S2R. As a
B/Mod Sports Racer, the entire car has to conform to the previous year's GCR
(Roadracing General Competition Rules) including rollbar/cage construction.
Patrick's car (the one that runs A/P in SFR) has a factory installed rollbar.
Whether or not it conforms to Appendix C is unknown. As a car with a full
windshield and targa bar, in Stock, SP or Prepared it needs no roll bar. If
one is "added" it needs to conform to Appendix C. My feeling is that with
the OE rollbar, it does not have to confom to Appendix C. If he removes the
windshiel, then he is in an open car, and has to have a rollbar conforming to
Appendix C.
