That reminds me, I might as well update this. I met with one of the Tech inspectors from EMRA who checked over my car, and said he can't let it on the track. But having actually LOOKED and not just assuming I am satisfied with his answer. He explained also explained why he had to say no, which of course was different then everyone else who had never even seen one, and actually made sense. His only really complaint was that the roll bar has no support in the middle, so if the car were to come down on a corner or something it could just fold up. I don't think that's very likely but I guess that just means I'll have to get my *** in gear and finish the real race car.
Well that's interesting... so the real complaint was that the car had hoops instead of a roll bar? Or that there was no diagonal crossbar *within* each hoop?

Or was it that the hoops were not supported by a bar facing towards the front or rear of the car (ie only supported in a 2d space, left-right, instead of a 3d space, left-right and front-back)?
