Topic: Rule clarification - nerf bar issue?
Is there any reason why the cage might not extend a few inches above the roof line of the vehicle? There are plenty of convertibles, as well as "convertibles" running at Lemons with cages that extend far above the original roof lines of the vehicle. Likewise, for some other applications, I'd like to be able to protect the underside of my vehicle from things that might bite a hole in the transmission or oil pan, and I'd rather not have to remove these elements for Lemons.
I understand this does not meet the letter of the law with regard to nerf bars, but it seems to be within the spirit of them, right? These rules are present to avoid "Mad Max", demolition derby style cars, right?
