8pt roll bar door bar location
is their a ihra rule about door bar location. i know that the bar that runs between the main hoop cant be 6 inches above or below the drivers shoulders (where the shoulder straps on a 5pt harness would attach) but is there a rule about door bar location? i think i remember seeing something about it somewhere and i searched but couldnt get anything.

The door bar must pass between your shoulder and elbow.

I slide over an X door bar. When I had a stock steering wheel with tilt, it wasn't too bad. When I stripped it down into a non tilt column, I couldn't get in or out. A removable steering wheel solved the problem.
