Does the SCCA consider the Targa roll bar as acceptable?

Just got back from watching a SCCA hill climb in Pennsylvania. Aside from a 550 Spider replica with the VW engine, Porsche wasn't represented. I think I may join up and compete in another hill climb next month. I can understand the Nomex suit requirement, etc, but I got the impression that "open topped" cars require a roll cage. I understand the the top bar on Porsche Targas is a functional roll bar. Does anyone know what the story is? Perhaps if it is acceptable, I could just get the info to them. Not too keen on a roll cage in my daily driver. Turbo engine swap, maybe. Rollcage? Uh uh...



Thanks...


Nicholas

Read the Freakin' rule book.....

All sanctioning bodies are different. Get the rule book and look the targa up. Some say it is a roll bar....others say it is a open car like a cab and you need a roll bar/cage. Others say OK, but you need the top on...like it's gonna give any protection....others say, OK and you need arm restraints....it's all over.
