Question on door bars
I was thinking of using these weld in tube clamps to make the door bar removable when driving the car on the street. First saw them being used in the desert off-road trucks so they should be able to take some pounding. Seems to me these would be a little better than a regular swingout kit that uses a single pin on either end. This has a lot more surface area for a really solid connection. Here's a link showing a version of this on a truck. http://www.desertrides.com/features/...s/DSC01929.php

It can be many times stronger than the CE swing out kit but if it isn't approved...

Would it say in the rulebook? Thinking of emailing the tech person at the track I frequent.
